    Computed tomography (CT) enhances acetabular fracture classification, revealing more extensive and intra-articular fragments than plain radiography. CT is crucial for complex fractures, aiding preoperative assessment of acetabular injuries.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Radiology
    • Trauma Care

    Background:

    • Acetabular fractures are complex injuries requiring accurate classification for optimal treatment.
    • Plain radiography is the initial imaging modality but may have limitations in defining fracture patterns and intra-articular involvement.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To retrospectively analyze the contribution of computed tomography (CT) in classifying acetabular fractures compared to plain radiography.
    • To evaluate the added value of CT in identifying fracture extent, associated injuries, and intra-articular fragments.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 33 acetabular fracture cases.
    • Comparison of fracture classification between CT and plain radiography.
    • Detailed assessment of fracture patterns, extent, displacement, and intra-articular fragments.

    Main Results:

    • CT and plain radiography classifications agreed in 82% of cases.
    • CT identified more extensive fractures in 6 patients (83% with associated fractures).
    • CT revealed intra-articular fragments in 10 patients (90% with associated fractures), significantly more than radiography (2 seen, 4 suspected).

    Conclusions:

    • Computed tomography significantly aids in defining acetabular fracture patterns.
    • CT is particularly valuable for radiographically complex or difficult-to-interpret associated fractures.
    • CT enables precise preoperative assessment of the weight-bearing acetabulum, displacement, and intra-articular fragments.
