Key Points

This research aims to compare the effectiveness and efficiency of ultrasonography versus radiography in diagnosing rib fractures.
Patients with suspected rib fractures were evaluated using both ultrasonography and radiography.
Time required for each imaging method was measured to determine efficiency.
Ultrasonography detected more rib fractures than radiography in most patients.
Ultrasonography required significantly less time than radiography for diagnosis.
