The physics of ultrasound confine definitive fracture identification to points of discontinuity in ultrasonographically accessible cortices. Secondary evidence of fracture or stress remodelling such as periosteal proliferation or abnormal contours changes with the evolution of the underlying pathology: a single time point ultrasound study may thus be misleading. Examinations at multiple time points may be needed to monitor changes (or lack thereof) and ascribe significance.
