Outcome measures
Primary outcome
Diagnostic accuracy of POCUS for diagnosing a clavicle fracture in ED.
Secondary outcome
- Difference in primary outcome between children and adults.
- Level of agreement (kappa) between dislocation measured on X-ray and measured by POCUS.
- Correlation between dislocation measured on X-ray and measured by POCUS.
- Difference in discomfort during exam between POCUS and X-ray.
Background summary
Clavicle fractures are commonly seen in the ED in adults and children. Diagnosis is traditionally made based on X-ray, which exposes the patient to radiation. Ultrasound may be a radiation free alternative to X-ray. This multicenter prospective cohort study aims to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of POCUS for suspected clavicle fractures compared to X-ray of the clavicle for all patients (≥4 years) presenting to the ED.
Study objective
Good diagnostic accuracy of POCUS for diagnosing a clavicle fracture in ED.
Study design
The ultrasound is bedside and will be evaluated straight away, the second review is done when inclusions are finished.
Inclusion criteria
All patients with suspected clavicle fracture presenting to the ED.
Exclusion criteria
- Extensive other trauma (HET, neurotrauma, hemodynamically unstable)
- Age < 4 year
- Open fractures
- Neurovasculair damage
- Recent clavicle fracture same side (<3 months)
- Complaint > 7 days
- Proven clavicle fracture before POCUS
- No informed consent from patient (≥16 year) or parent(s) (<16 year)
