A retrospective analysis of 227 patients undergoing ultrasonography (US) of the hand/wrist over a three-year period in a district general hospital trust was performed. The usefulness in each case was assessed by two independent reviewers using a qualitative rating system, as (A) Useful: determines management, (B) Useful: contributory, (C) Not useful: not misleading, or (D) Not useful: misleading/potentially harmful. US was useful in 74.8% of cases but misleading/potentially harmful in 13.1%. Misleading rates exceeding 10% in sub-categories including tendinopathy, carpal tunnel syndrome, foreign body and lumps, where US findings may influence the decision to operate or not, are particularly worrying. There were a number of cases where US led to unnecessary operations or suggested operating on the wrong structures, and also cases where US findings wrongly suggested that surgery was unnecessary. Various recommendations aimed to improve the usefulness of US in the Hand and Wrist, including mandatory/formal musculoskeletal US training, are made.

Patients with foreign bodies inside soft tissues are common in a surgeon's daily practice,. Radio-opaque foreign bodies can easily be located with radiography but radio-lucent foreign bodies cannot be located with X-ray, where Ultrasonography especially, high resolution ultrasonography can be used to locate it. Ultrasonography, being easily available, cost-effective and radiation-hazard free, can be done repeatedly for foreign bodies which move inside tissues. The presenting article describes a patient with a radio-lucent foreign body, deep inside muscle in his fore-arm and having one sharp end, was advancing inside tissues, was located with the help of Ultrasonography and was removed.   doi: 10.3329/taj.v20i1.3095 TAJ 2007; 20(1): 67-70
