The aim of this study is to through a light on the importance of ultrasonography as a useful, accurate, safe, quick and available tool for detection and diagnosis of fractures in dogs and compares the results of ultrasonographic findings with that of radiographic results. In the current study, twelve mongrel dogs suffering from different fractures were examined and diagnosed by ultrasonography and radiography. The recorded fractures are two cases of mandible fracture, three cases of radial fracture, five cases of femur fracture and two cases of iliac shaft fracture. All fractures types, ultrasonographic appearance of these fractures were hyper-echoic appearance for healthy region of bones while an-echoic areas at the site of fractures and the ultrasonographic examination revealed that presence of hypo-echoic area at the site of hematoma in case of femur fracture dogs underwent to radiographic examination. All ultrasonographic finding were correlated with the results of radiographic examination with 100 %. In conclusion, ultrasonography is a good tool for early diagnosis of different fractures in dogs without any pain, discomfort and stress to the animals. Ultrasonography may be in the future replaces X- Rays and Computed tomography for the early diagnosis of bones fracture in extremities and superficial situations.
