ABSTRACT:
A non-invasive, non-irradiating, simple and inexpensive method of confirming suspected bone fractures wherein intrasonic vibration is induced in and about the bone near the typically inflamed area. A protective retraction response is elicited in substantially all cases where a fracture is in fact present while a false positive is only rarely observed.
