Point-of-care ultrasound was performed on
212 children and young adults with 348
suspected fractures. Forty-two percent of all
bones imaged were non-long bones. The
prevalence rate of fracture was 24%.
- Kesimpulan
Clinicians with focused ultrasound training
were able to diagnose fractures using point-
of-care ultrasound with a high specificity rate.
Specificity rates to rule-in fracture were
similar for non-long bone and long bone
fractures, as well as in skeletally mature
young adults and children with open growth
plates. Clinician-performed point-of-care
ultrasound accuracy was highest at the
diaphyses of long bones, while most
diagnostic errors were committed at the ends-
of-bones or near joints. Point-of-care
ultrasound may serve as a rapid alternative
means to diagnose midshaft fractures in
settings with limited or no access to X-ray.
862-863 - Latar belakang klinis
Diagnostic testing with X-ray is routinely
performed to evaluate for fractures, which are
diagnosed in approximately 20% of
emergency department visits for childhood
injuries.36 However, the World Health
Organisation estimates that up to three-

clinical role of the index test.
Thus injuries resulting in fractures may be
inadequately evaluated and treated,
especially in resource-poor settings around
the world where disparities in diagnostic
imaging services exist.
- Clinical role of the index test
Clinician-performed point-of-care ultrasound
is an imaging modality that has emerged as a
rapid and versatile diagnostic tool in acute
and critical care settings,4,17 for both
paediatric and adult patients.7,14 Similarly,
point-of-care ultrasound use by clinicians of
many different medical specialties, beyond
traditional users such as cardiologists and
obstetrician-gynecologists, has grown expo-
nentially in the past decade.1,7,14,15,17,18,19
Because of the greater availability of
inexpensive and compact ultrasound
machines, clinician-performed point-of-care
ultrasonography is feasible, not only in
traditional acute care settings, but also in
healthcare settings that lack or have limited
diagnostic imaging capability. These settings
include developing countries, disaster or
military conflict zones, and austere or remote
locations.16,20,30,34
- Intended use and rationality
In U.S. military combat operations in Iraq and
Afghanistan, point-of-care ultrasound
diagnosis offractures and other injuries has
been useful in assisting battlefield triage and
evacuation decisions.20 In published
guidelines for essential trauma care, the
World Health Organisation has also
recommended ultrasound as desirable
equipment available at all hospital-level
healthcare facilities around the world.24 The
reflective acoustic properties of cortical bone
make ultrasound imaging highly specific for
identifying fractures as small as 1 mm.10

advocated to include evaluation ofinjured
extremities for fractures as part of the

examination.9,19 This research has focused on
the use of point-of-care ultrasound in
musculoskeletal injuries and fracture
diagnosis in adults,9,19,37 with data in children
limited primarily to long bone fractures and
guided reduction.8,12,27,41,42

Patients were informed that they could
withdraw from the study at any point. We
collected information regarding pain during
ultrasound examination.
Study sonologists (physicians who perform
and interpret ultrasound) consisted of 10
paediatric emergency physicians with varying
levels of emergency ultrasound experience.4
They under- went 1 h of point-of-care
musculoskeletal ultrasound training session
prior to enrolling patients. The training
consisted of a 30-min lecture viewing
ultrasound video of various fractures,
followed by a 30-min practical hands-on
scanning session of normal bone anatomy and
simulated fractures. Sonologists recorded
demographic data prior to the point-of-care
ultrasound examination.
- Analitik
Ultrasound machines with a linear array
transducer at 7.5–10 MHz (Sonosite
Micromaxx, Bothell, WA, and Siemens GS60,
Mountain View, CA) were used to image
bones in perpendicular orthogonal planes
(long and short axes) starting at the area of
maximal pain. Ultrasound gel was layered
onto this area with the ultrasound probe
applied to the layer of gel to avoid physical
contact or pressure on the injured body part.
For younger children, imaging the
contralateral normal body part was
encouraged as necessary, in order to gain the
child’s acceptance of the ultrasound
examination. Fracture was defined as cortical
disruption or irregularity (Fig. 2) when
scanning along the long axis of the bone.
Fractures were also visualised when
dynamically scanning along the short axis39
(transverse plane), by identifying the skipping
or discontinuity effect depending on the
degree of fracture displacement (long bones
in particular). Additional oblique or
longitudinal views of the injured area were
obtained as necessary. Sonologists were
encouraged to image the unaffected
contralateral body part for comparison when
uncertainty arose. Additionally, sonologists
were also encouraged to optimise image
quality using a water bath technique to image
hands and feet.5
The analysis of diagnostic errors is often not
reported in studies of diagnostic tests,26 and
research in ultrasound has not been an
exception. To examine diagnostic errors,
quality assurance monitoring was performed
by a senior sonologist with 10 years of point-
of-care ultrasound experience who reviewed
all enrolled point-of-care ultrasound scans
via digital movie clips and still images to
classify diagnostic errors made by study
sonologists.

our study occurred at the ends-of-bones or near
joints that are more difficult to evaluate because
of curved, sometimes irregular contours. These
errors still occurred despite encouraging our
study sonologists to scan the contralateral
unaffected side.

Our study was also limited in that we excluded


wrist bones and proximal foot bones due to the
difficulty in evaluating intra- articular cortical
surfaces and contours of these particular bones by
ultrasonography. We were unable to evaluate the
accuracy of point-of-care ultrasound for nasal
bone fractures in our study as it is not our routine
practice to obtain X-ray for suspected isolated
nasal bone fractures. However, the evaluation of
nasal bones, as well as facial bones and scaphoid
bones by ultrasonography has been described in
the literature.
