Fifty infants undergoing treatment in the Pavlik harness for congenital hip dysplasia (CDH) were serially evaluated with ultrasound. Comparison with clinical and radiographic examinations showed sonography to be 100% sensitive and highly specific. Discrepancies between the studies are attributed to the greater sensitivity of the technique compared with the physical examination and/or radiographs. Using this method, it is possible to significantly reduce radiation exposure to the infant being treated for CDH.
对50名正在使用 Pavlik 吊带治疗先天性髋关节发育不良(CDH)的婴儿进行了超声连续评估。与临床和放射学检查结果对比显示,超声检查的敏感度为100%,且具有高度特异性。各项研究结果之间的差异归因于该技术相较于体格检查和/或X光片检查具有更高的敏感度。使用这种方法,可以显著减少接受CDH治疗婴儿的辐射暴露。
