(a) Long-axis sonogram of the proximal humerus demonstrating fracture. Note the interruption of the hyperechoic cortical line (arrows). An echogenic hematoma (asterisk) is identified in the fracture space, and early vascularity is detected on power Doppler (red). (b) Long-axis sonogram of a fibular stress fracture. Periosteal elevation (arrow) is identified, along with increased Doppler activity (color) and subtle cortical irregularity at the site of pain (solid arrow).
