This study evaluated the accuracy of ultrasound in diagnosing distal radial fractures compared to the gold standard of conventional radiography. 78 patients with suspected distal radial fractures within 24 hours of injury underwent both ultrasound and radiography. Ultrasound found 63 true positive fractures and 12 true negative results, with 3 false negatives. Compared to radiography, ultrasound had a sensitivity of 95.5%, specificity of 100%, and accuracy of 96.15%. The study concludes that ultrasound is a highly accurate initial test for distal radial fractures in the emergency department.
