ROLE OF COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY AND 3D RECONSTRUCTIONS IN PELVIC RIM AND ACETABULAR FRACTURES
Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 24
Abstract
To determine the role of computed tomography and 3D Reconstructions in classification of pelvic rim and acetabular fractures and assessing possible changes in fracture classification. We collected retrospective information in a period of 18 months in our institution, of patients with pelvic injuries considering---demographic data, radiological examination performed and the moment when it was performed, fracture classification and management. In 12 cases (54%) there were isolated pelvic rim fractures and 7 cases of isolated acetabular fractures (32%) and 3 cases (14%) involving both. After the CT scan was obtained, the initial classification was changed in five cases (22.7%). Tridimensional CT based modeling is very helpful in the classification of pelvic fractures and is a complement of the plain X-ray.
