<unk>  is the use of medical ultrasound to detect bone<unk> s. While medical ultrasound is used to visualize soft tissues like skin, organs, and blood vessels,<unk>  is used to visualize<unk> s on only bone surfaces. It is useful for children aged 12 or younger because all<unk> s cause alterations of the bone surface, and joint<unk> s are uncommon at such ages. For joint<unk> s that are common in adult bones and cannot be visualized properly, patients older than 12 years are not eligible for ultrasound<unk>  diagnosis. The method is feasible for detecting<unk> s of the wrist, elbow, shoulder and clavicle. The advantages of<unk>  are the avoidance of radiation exposure, faster examinations, and the ability to use standard ultrasound devices, which are more widespread. In the mentioned fields of application, ultrasound is as safe as X-ray diagnosis.
