• Bioabsorbable magnesium-based alloy screws release gas upon resorption. • The resulting ultrasound findings in children's soft tissues and joints closely resemble those of soft tissue infection or osteosynthesis-associated infection. • Be familiar with these ultrasound findings in order to avoid inadvertently misdiagnosing a soft tissue infection or osteosynthesis-associated infection.
