Serial ultrasound examinations can assess developing displacement, osseous resorption and callus formation and maturation. At entheses, serial ultrasound helps to distinguish between structural disruption and temporary distortion following haemorrhage. Following removal of apical or abaxial fracture fragments from proximal sesamoid bones, the formation and stability of granulation tissue between the fracture bed and amputated suspensory ligament branch can be monitored and rehabilitation tailored according to healing (Chapter 20). Both percutaneous and, in applicable cases, transrectal ultrasonographic monitoring of pelvic fractures is routinely performed.
