The value of multislice computed tomography in the diagnosis of elbow fractures

Within the sports pathology it is vital the functional recovery of the lesions. To achieve this goal it is necessary very precise anatomical information. The elbow region is made up of three bones that together they have a complex relationship. Range of motion is wide and is thanks to the form of their components. To obtain precise information we need complex imaging techniques that allow us to avoid overlaps that show conventional radiology. Thanks to the development of CT multislices we have a high precision tool. Following the classification of the AO Foundation describes all types of fracture and provides images with 3D reconstruciton which allows you to schedule surgery the surgeon with a degree of prior information that approximates the excellence.
