BACKGROUND: Diagnosis of classic metaphyseal lesions (CMLs) in children suspected for child abuse can be challenging. Ultrasound (US) can potentially help diagnose CMLs. However, its accuracy is unknown. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the accuracy of US in the diagnosis of CMLs using skeletal survey reports as the gold standard. MATERIALS AND METHODS: US of the metaphysis was performed in three patient groups age
