Article Synopsis
- Maxillofacial fractures lead to over 400,000 emergency department visits annually in the U.S., with CT scans being the standard diagnostic method but having downsides like radiation exposure and cost.
- A study compared linear-probe ultrasound to CT and plain film X-ray for diagnosing infraorbital rim fractures, using CT as the benchmark.
- Results indicated that linear-probe ultrasound had a sensitivity of 92.9% and specificity of 90.0%, making it a reliable alternative diagnostic tool compared to traditional X-ray and CT for these fractures.
