A prospective study of 114 patients who injured the lateral complex of their ankles. All patients were subjected to ultrasound scanning within 48 h of their injury under double blind conditions. The authors' results suggest that the sensitivity of the ultrasound diagnosis approaches that of conventional radiology, if used properly. Furthermore, ultrasonic scanning is a useful adjuvant to clinical assessment of patients with regards to selection for further radiological examination. A case is also made for firms in the medical physics arena to develop suitable hardware in the diagnostic ultrasonic field for fracture management.
对114例踝关节外侧复合体损伤患者进行的前瞻性研究。所有患者在受伤后48小时内于双盲条件下接受超声扫描。作者的结果表明，如果使用得当，超声诊断的敏感性接近传统放射学。此外，超声扫描对于临床评估患者以选择进一步的放射学检查是一种有用的辅助手段。文中还呼吁医学物理领域的公司开发适用于骨折管理的诊断超声领域的合适硬件。
