Abstract

This study aims at assessing of the ultrasound in various bone fracture. This research aims at establishing safe and effective clinical standards to be adopted in the clinical circumstances. The researcher took two groups of sample where both of them faced bone fractures of long bones but one group underwent ultrasound and the other group of sample underwent the x-ray. Both the set of detections were evaluated in terms of time, specificity and efficiency. 

Each of the of 100 participants all confirmed patients of long bones fractures on CT went through X-ray and Ultra sonography where the result is shown in the table below where the results states that US showed 95% sensitivity (sensitivity: positively diagnose a patient who has pathology) for high-grade injuries and US was shown to have 66.6% specificity (specificity: not falsely diagnosing a healthy patient).
