简要总结
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the safety and accuracy of ultrasound as a screening tool to detect broken bones (fractures) in the elbow area in children and youth aged 5 to 15 years. The main question it aims to answer is:
- Can ultrasound reliably show that there is a fracture in the elbow area after an accident?
Participants will:
- Have an ultrasound of their elbow to look for fluid in the joint.
- Have standard X-rays of their elbow to check if there is a fracture.
- Have their medical records checked and answer a phone call 6 weeks later to see how their elbow has healed (only if no fracture was found during the first visit).

- Treatment of the injury(Day 1 (On the day of enrollment in the study in the emergency department))
- Exact fracture pattern of the initial X-ray images as determined by blinded experts(Day 1 (On the day of enrollment in the study in the emergency department))
- Radiographic posterior fat pad signs on the initial X-ray images as determined by blinded experts(Day 1 (On the day of enrollment in the study in the emergency department))
- Interrater reliability of ultrasound findings(Day 1 (On the day of enrollment in the study in the emergency department))
- Only in cases where there is initially no radiographically confirmed fracture: pain after 6 weeks(Day 39-45 (42 days (+/- 3 days) after the day of enrollment in the study in the emergency department))
- Only in cases where there is initially no radiographically confirmed fracture: function of the upper extremity after 6 weeks(Day 39-45 (42 days (+/- 3 days) after the day of enrollment in the study in the emergency department))
- Only in cases where there is initially no radiographically confirmed fracture: Medical follow-up appointments and results of possible further radiological imaging(Day 39-45 (42 days (+/- 3 days) after the day of enrollment in the study in the emergency department))
