Point-of-Care Ultrasound Screening for an Elbow Fracture in the Pediatric Emergency Department.

The article focuses on the use of point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) for diagnosing a supracondylar humeral fracture in a 6-year-old girl with elbow pain after a fall. Topics include the child's initial presentation with limited elbow movement and tenderness, the role of POCUS in detecting fractures through the posterior fat pad sign and lipohemarthrosis, and confirmation of the diagnosis with radiographic imaging revealing a nondisplaced fracture.
