Suspected scaphoid fractures. The value of radiographs.
Twenty observers reported independently on the presence or absence of a fracture of the scaphoid on 60 sets of radiographs; these included initial and 2- to 3-week views in patients in whom the outcome was known, normal scaphoids and random copies of these. Analysis of variance of the accuracy of observations revealed that the 2- to 3-week radiographs did not improve diagnostic ability and that...
متن کاملDevelopment of a clinical decision tool for suspected scaphoid fractures.
Scaphoid fractures are the most common carpal fractures; their overall incidence is however low. Missing a scaphoid fracture may lead to a non-union with a possible disastrous outcome for the patient; for this reason, treatment of a suspected scaphoid fracture, even without a proven fracture on the first radiograph, has been conservative with plaster treatment. There are many clinical tests dev...
متن کاملCost-Effectiveness of Diagnostic Strategies for Suspected Scaphoid Fractures.
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to assess the cost effectiveness of multiple competing diagnostic strategies for suspected scaphoid fractures. METHODS With published data, the authors created a decision-tree model simulating the diagnosis of suspected scaphoid fractures. Clinical outcomes, costs, and cost effectiveness of immediate computed tomography (CT), day 3 magnetic resonance imagi...
متن کاملDiagnosing suspected scaphoid fractures: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
UNLABELLED Imaging protocols for suspected scaphoid fractures among investigators and hospitals are markedly inconsistent. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess and compare the diagnostic performance of bone scintigraphy, MRI, and CT for diagnosing suspected scaphoid fractures. Twenty-six studies were included. Sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic odds ratio were pool...
متن کاملAcute fractures of the scaphoid. Treatment by cast immobilisation with the wrist in flexion or extension?
Acute fractures of the scaphoid were randomly allocated for conservative treatment in a Colles'-type plaster cast with the wrist immobilised in either 20 degrees flexion or 20 degrees extension. The position of the wrist did not influence the rate of union of the fracture (89%) but when reviewed after six months the wrists which had been immobilised in flexion had a greater restriction of exten...
