Purpose of Review <p>Although bone fractures are commonly diagnosed in the emergency department (ED), traditional methods for fracture detection do not consistently detect all orthopedic injuries. This review will describe recent technological advances in the diagnosis of bone fractures, including novel diagnostic approaches that have the potential to improve fracture diagnosis in the ED and other acute care settings.</p> Recent Findings <p>Emerging modalities for bone fracture diagnosis include the use of ultrasound, infrared thermography, ultra-low-dose computed tomography, and radiofrequency and microwave systems for imaging. These modalities have the potential to eventually replace traditional screening tools, such as plain radiography, as the standard of care for bone fracture screening. In addition to advanced imaging modalities, increased use of artificial intelligence to assist with image interpretation may&#xa0;also improve the speed and accuracy of fracture diagnosis.</p> Summary <p>Recent technological advances have immense potential to improve bone fracture diagnosis and related health outcomes for ED patients. As this medical field continues to evolve, such innovations will become more feasible for application in the ED and other acute care settings.</p>
