Background/introduction

The purpose of this study is to evaluate possibilities of ultrasonography in the monitoring of various bone fractures of the maxillofacial region.

Description of activity and work performed

•Materials and methods: Ultrasound examination was carried out on 96 patients at the age of between 6 and 59 with trauma of the maxillofacial region. All of patients were examinated sonography, radiography and multislice computed tomography. Injuries results In 34 patients, out of 96 (35%), isolated injuries of the facial bones, in 62 patients multiple and associated fractures were revealed. All injuries were identified by CT with 3D reconstruction, thus the method was adopted as verifying. The ultrasonography findings revealed the following: interruption of the...

Conclusion and recommendations

Ultrasonography has proved to be a valuable tool in detecting fracturesin the facial bones in addition to x-ray examination. Particular value ofsonography is a control for repositioning bone fragments. Using of sonography allows decreasing the overall radiation load to patient, due to reducing of the number of radiological examination.
