title: Sonography of trapezial ridge fractures.
abstract: Trapezial ridge fractures are very rare. These can be a diagnostic challenge and one needs to have a high index of suspicion. We report two cases of trapezial ridge fractures that were diagnosed sonographically and confirmed by cross-sectional imaging (CT or MRI).
