Dynamic ultrasound guided assessment of pelvic ring injury measurement (PRIME) for traumatic symphysis diastasis
Ultrasound-guided assessment of symphyseal diastasis is feasible and shows high diagnostic accuracy, especially for diastasis > 2.5 cm and during dynamic evaluation. Sensitivity and predictive values improved with larger displacements, while detection of smaller diastasis remained limited. These findings support the potential use of ultrasound as a rapid, non-invasive tool in early pelvic trauma assessment.
