Angle of Mandible Fracture: Ultrasonography or Plain Film Radiography?
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2019, Vol 18, Issue 1
Abstract
Mandibular fracture is the second most common facial fracture and angle of the mandible is the most common mandibular fracture. For the diagnosis of angle fracture conventionally two radiograph perpendicular to one another are required. Ultrasonography was used in the diagnosis of superficially placed facial bone fracture. In this study we compared the conventional radiography with ultrasonography for the diagnosis of mandibular angle fracture.The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of USG as an alternative method for conventional radiography in the diagnosis of mandibular angle fracture.Cohort study conducted during December 2014 to December 2016. Total 24 patients were selected for this study. Sensitivity and positive predictive values for ultrasonography was calculated compared to Conventional radiography using SPSS version 16. The sensitivity and positive predictive value of ultrasonography as compare to OPG and posteroanterior view of skull were 100% and 100% respectively. Hence forth the above study showed that ultrasonography is a simple, reliable, cost effective, radiation free technique and can be used for detection of fracture of mandibular angle with high sensitivity
