Imaging Acetabular Fractures

David Dreizin et al. Radiol Clin North Am. 2019 Jul.

Abstract

Acetabular fractures are encountered by radiologists in a wide spectrum of practice settings. The radiologist's value in the acute and long-term management of acetabular fractures is augmented by familiarity with systematic computed tomography-based algorithms that streamline and simplify Judet-Letournel fracture typing, together with an appreciation of the role of imaging in initial triage, operative decision making, postoperative assessment, prognostication, and evaluation of complications. The steep increase in incidence of acetabular fractures in the elderly over the past several decades places special emphasis on familiarity with geriatric fracture patterns.

Keywords: Acetabular fractures; Cinematic rendering; Column fractures; Computed tomography; Surface rendering; Transverse fractures; Wall fractures.
