¸ñÀû: This study examined the diagnostic value of ultrasound and
radiography
compared with clinical examinations as the method to determine
whether
ultrasound can be used for diagnosis of nasal fracture ¹æ¹ý:This study was conducted on 128 nasal fracture patients.
Radiography
in patients was performed by 2 different radiologists on Waters
and
lateral view with a 10-MHz ultrasound probe, and clinical
examinations
were done by an Otorhinolaryngologist. Radiography and
ultrasound
findings were compared with the final diagnosis which was based
on
clinical examinations °á°ú:In the ultrasound assessment of fracture, sensitivity was 84%,
specificity 75%, accuracy 82%, positive predictive value 91%, and
negative predictive value 61%. In the radiologic assessment of
fracture on lateral view, sensitivity was 50%, specificity 72%,
accuracy 55%, positive predictive value 84%, and negative predictive
value 32%. On Waters view, sensitivity was 53%, specificity 65%,
accuracy 56%, positive predictive value 82%, and negative predictive
value 31%. On lateral-waters view, sensitivity was 64%, specificity
58%, accuracy 62%, positive predictive value 82%, and negative
predictive value 34%. Fracture diagnosis by ultrasound was
significantly better as compared with radiography. °á·Ð:The nasal bone ultrasound is a useful in determining the nasal
fracture
and radiography can be replaced with ultrasound in diagnosis of
fracture |
