PURPOSE: Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) can be used to guide and assess reduction of pediatric forearm fractures. In this study, we sought to compare the success rate of ultrasound-guided fracture reduction with fluoroscopy-guided fracture reduction. We also sought to determine whether there are cost or time benefits to using ultrasound instead of fluoroscopy.
METHODS: The electronic medical records of patients less than 18 years of age presenting to a pediatric emergency department with a forearm fracture between April 2016 and March 2019 were screened for inclusion in this study. A total of 27 ultrasound-guided reductions were identified during this time period and 81 fluoroscopy-guided reductions were randomly selected for comparison. Cost data was provided by the financial department. Reduction success, total length of stay, and costs were compared between the two groups, and multiple linear regression was used to determine the influence of any confounding predictor variables.
RESULTS: There were no failed reductions in either group. Length of stay was shorter in the POCUS group (221 min) compared with the fluoroscopy group (254 min, p = 0.014), but this significance was lost in the regression model when adjusted for ketamine use. Provider costs ($430 v $442, p = 0.822) and total costs ($1219 v $1204, p = 0.851) were the same between the POCUS group and the fluoroscopy group, respectively.
CONCLUSION: POCUS appears to be an equally effective imaging modality to guide reduction of forearm fractures as compared to fluoroscopy.
