Application of ultrasound in the management of TRASH (the radiographic appearance seemed harmless) fractures in preschool children: A review

Elbow fracture is one of the most common fractures in preschool children, and the secondary ossification center appears regularly with age increasing. Transphyseal separation of the distal humerus, medial humeral condyle fracture, lateral humeral condyle fracture, radial head osteochondral separatio...

description Elbow fracture is one of the most common fractures in preschool children, and the secondary ossification center appears regularly with age increasing. Transphyseal separation of the distal humerus, medial humeral condyle fracture, lateral humeral condyle fracture, radial head osteochondral separation, and Monteggia fracture (minimal ulnar bow type) are difficult to diagnose based on X-ray films alone because of the unossified secondary ossification center or a suspicious non-alignment of the anatomical cartilage of the elbow joint in preschool children. These 5 fractures above are defined as The Radiographic Appearance Seemed Harmless fractures in preschool children (TRASH-PS). The TRASH-PS fractures must be taken into consideration when there is swelling at the injured site without fracture feature on X-ray. Additionally, relevant misdiagnosis or unsuitable management can lead to elbow dysfunction and deformity. Therefore, this work reviews the application of ultrasound in the management of TRASH-PS fractures.
