Primary outcome
diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound in ankle trauma
Secondary outcome
diagnostic accuracy of items of the Ottawa Ankle Rules in ankle trauma
Background summary
Trauma to the anklejoint is both frequently encountered and costly if not
identified and treated correctly.
current diagnostic protocols describe the use of Ottawa Ankle Rules, validated
for use in inversion trauma, but also used as a clinical prediction rule in all
types of ankle trauma. This clinical prediction rules has high sensitivity, but
poor specificity, leading to unneccesary X-ray assessments
studies on ultrasound use in ankle trauma are promising and need further
validation before ultrasound can be placed in diagnostic protocols.
Therefore we designed a study comparing ultrasound exams with clinical
prediction rules based on items of the Ottawa Ankle Rules with the X-ray exam
as golden standard.
Study objective
to calculate the diagnostic test accuray and by doing so to determine the value
of ultrasound in ankle trauma.
Study design
Cross sectional design comparing two diagnostic tools; ultrasound and clinical
prediction rule.
Intervention
see protocol
Study burden and risks
no burden, no risks. Possible additional X-ray radiation is neglectible.
