Abstract
|
|
|
Diagnoses of the acromial fractures are frequently delayed because most acromial fractures are non-displaced or minimally displaced patterns and the frequency are low. We report a case that a non-displaced acromial fracture of 74years old male hit by the falling pipes could be diagnosed by the ultrasonography. For this case who had a pain, swelling, and the limitation of active elevation of the left shoulder after direct injury, the evaluation about the rotator cuff and the biceps long head tendon was required but the early diagnosis of the non-displaced acromial fracture was done by the easier ultrasonography before the additional studies. The ultrasonography has the advantage over the
computed tomography in the aspect of evaluating the injury of the tendons of the shoulder joint.
