Article Synopsis
- - Bennet fractures, which are intra-articular fractures at the base of the first metacarpal, often lead to dislocation and need surgical intervention to avoid long-term joint problems.
- - A case involving a 62-year-old man showed that an ultrasound (US) suspected a Bennet fracture after a fall, while standard X-rays appeared normal.
- - This situation highlights the importance of including thorough bone assessments in routine musculoskeletal ultrasound exams, especially for patients who have suffered trauma, since US can identify fractures that X-rays may miss.
