Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the
diagnostic accuracy of ultrasonography for suspected
osteomyelitis. Patients and Methods: The use of ultrasound in
osteomyelitis has been studied in seventeen patients clinically
suspected of osteomyelitis. The patients were investigated
prospeclively with high - resolution ultrasonography for the
presence of subperiosteal fluid or cortical irregularity. A
sonographic diagnosis of osteomyelitis was made if fluid was
present in direct contact with the bone, without intervening soft
tissues. Results: Ultrasonographically 15 patients were found to
have osteomyelitis; diagnosis was established by surgery and
positive culture of the fluid found inta-operatively. Two patients
had soft tissue abscess. No cortical irregularity can be found.
Conclusion: Ultrascnographic results may help the diagnosis apart
from the importance of clinical judgment and results of other tests.
Two ultrasonograpbic studies were false - positive, and diagnostic
accuracy of ultrasound diagnostic procedure was 92%. |
