OBJECTIVES: To assess the use of a portable ultrasound unit in screening for osteoporosis in older patients presenting to the Emergency Department (ED) with low-impact fractures.
METHOD: All patients over 65 years with a possible low-impact fracture were to be identified and screened. Full ethical approval was obtained. An initial pilot study of "non-osteoporotic" ED staff was carried out before the full study was to occur.
RESULTS: The pilot study showed portable ultrasound measuring proximal phalanx bone mineral density lacked both precision and accuracy.
CONCLUSIONS: The aims of the study were worthwhile. However, the initial pilot study showed that the tools were inadequate for a full study. The full study was abandoned and new ways of identifying these patients are being looked at.
