Point-of-care wrist ultrasonography in trauma patients with ulnar-sided pain and instability
The American Journal of Emergency Medicine Jan 10, 2018
Lee SH, et al. - Trauma patients with ulnar-sided pain and instability were investigated for the effectiveness of point-of-care wrist ultrasonography compared with 3T-magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for diagnosing triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) injuries. In addition, the inter-observer variability was assessed between an emergency physician and a musculoskeletal radiology fellow. For detecting TFCC injuries, point-of-care wrist ultrasonography proved as precise as MRI and could be used for immediate diagnosis and further preoperative imaging. Furthermore, it might reduce the interval from Emergency Department admission to surgical intervention while decreasing costs.
