Swelling and pressure pain in the hyoid bone area can be seen as hyoid bone fracture, swelling and pressure pain in the hyoid bone area can be seen on physical examination, and sometimes a fragmented bone friction sound can be palpated. Mostly seen in various blunt force contusions of the anterior neck, such as boxing injuries, strangulation injuries, car accidents, etc.. It can also be due to violent muscle strain injuries. According to the literature, strong swallowing movements and sudden neck hyperextension and twisting can cause hyoid bone fractures. What are the following tests for swelling and pressure pain in the hyoid bone area? General radiography X-rays are mainly used to detect skeletal lesions, but they are also quite useful for detecting soft tissue lesions. Common examples are chest X-rays, which are used to diagnose lung diseases such as pneumonia, lung cancer or emphysema, and abdominal X-rays, which are used to detect intestinal obstruction, free gas (due to visceral perforation) and free fluid. The use of X-rays for diagnosis is controversial in some cases, such as stones (which have little to no blocking effect on X-rays) or kidney stones (which are generally, but not always, visible). Lateral radiographs of the cervical spine show translucent fracture line shadows, interrupted cortical continuity of the hyoid bone and misalignment of the fracture fragments. It has been reported that 1/2 of the hyoid fractures are located at the junction of the greater horn of the hyoid bone with the body of the hyoid bone; the other 1/2 are located at the greater horn of the hyoid bone. If the fracture is caused by violent muscle contraction, it is a fracture of the tip of the greater horn of the hyoid bone. It is important to note that the greater horn of the hyoid bone is separated from the body of the hyoid bone before the age of 45 and should not be mistaken for a fracture line. In young people, the unfused shadow of the small horn of the hyoid bone and the calcified or ossified shadow of the ligament of the stem hyoid bone or the ligament of the thyroid hyoid bone near the hyoid bone look like fracture fragments and should be distinguished.
