A new study published in the New England journal of Medicine suggests that with regard to the result of physical function of the arm at 4 weeks, the use of ultrasonography as the initial diagnostic imaging tool in children and adolescents with a distal forearm injury was noninferior to radiography.
There is minimal information on whether radiography or ultrasonography is non-inferior for the first diagnostic imaging of forearm fractures in children and adolescents. Therefore, Peter Snelling and colleagues undertook this study to evaluate the effectiveness of ultrasonography for diagnostic imaging in fractures.
