Ultrasound Analysis of Suspected Long Bone Fractures in the Emergency Department - Diagnostic Performance Compared to Radiography.

Ultrasound tool in bones trauma is underused in the emergency department of the University Hospital of Saint-Etienne. This prospective non randomized monocentric study will measure how much this non irradiant method of diagnostic is sensible and specific in long bones fractures, and will evaluate it advantages versus conventional X ray examination.
