We used ultrasonography in ten children with pulled elbow to compare measurements of the radiocapitellar distance (RCD) on the affected and the unaffected sides. Similar measurements were made in a group of ten age-matched normal children. The mean RCD in pronation of the affected and normal sides in the patients with pulled elbows was 7.2 mm +/- 0.7 and 3.8 mm +/- 0.5, respectively (p < 0.0001). In the normal children the mean RCD in pronation was 4.5 mm +/- 0.5. We conclude that ultrasonography is of value for documenting pulled elbow in children.
我们对10名患牵拉肘的儿童进行了超声检查,比较患侧与未患侧的桡骨头关节面距离(RCD)测量值。在一组10名年龄匹配的正常儿童中进行了类似测量。牵拉肘患儿患侧和正常侧旋前时的平均RCD分别为7.2 mm±0.7和3.8 mm±0.5(p<0.0001)。正常儿童旋前时的平均RCD为4.5 mm±0.5。我们得出结论,超声检查对于记录儿童牵拉肘具有重要价值。
