    Distal forearm fractures are the most common fractures in children, comprising 29% of all pediatric fractures.

  • 2

    Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is a radiation-free alternative to X-rays for diagnosing distal forearm fractures in children.

  • 3

    Aligning dorsal and palmar POCUS images allows for accurate angulation quantification and physeal fracture displacement estimation.

  • 4

    An automatic pipeline for aligning POCUS views aims to replace X-rays in fracture diagnosis, enhancing efficiency in emergency care.

  • 5

    The proposed alignment method utilizes anatomical constraints and optimization techniques to improve the accuracy of POCUS imaging.
