title: Computed tomography with multiplanar reconstruction of acetabular fractures.
abstract: Computed tomography of acetabular fractures, using 3 mm thick continuous slices, was routinely supplemented with reformatted images in the coronal and sagittal plane. We have found this to be helpful in the preoperative evaluation of our cases for insight into these often complex fractures. Three representative case reports are presented.
