Manejo ecográfico de las fracturas de antebrazo distal en pacientes de edad pediátrica
Revisión sistemática
Resumen
Objetivo En este trabajo se pretende realizar una actualización sobre el papel de la ecografía en las fracturas de tercio distal de antebrazo en pacientes pediátricos, desde su diagnóstico, pasando por la asistencia en la reducción de la fractura, hasta el seguimiento ambulatorio. Material y métodos Se incluyeron todos los estudios relacionados, estudios prospectivos, comparativos entre la ecografía y los métodos gold standard actuales (rayos x) en el diagnóstico, asistencia en la reducción y seguimiento de las fracturas de muñeca, en pacientes en edad pediátrica, publicados en los últimos 5 años, encontradas en las bases de datos de PUBMED, COCHRANE y EMBASE Resultados 14 estudios reunieron los criterios de inclusión con grados de evidencia II-III. Mostrando sensibilidades y especificidades >90% en el diagnóstico ecográfico, así como una tasa éxito en la reducción de la fractura comparable a los métodos habituales. Conclusión La revisión presentada nos plantea la ecografía como alternativa real a la radiografía simple en la detección y como asistente en la reducción de las fracturas de antebrazo distal, así como su prometedor futuro en el seguimiento de esta patología.Citas
