title: [Mixed fractures of the posterior wall of the acetabulum. Value of x-ray computed tomography].
abstract: The authors have studied three cases of fracture of the posterior wall of the acetabulum in which one fragment was separated and another was impacted. The nature of the lesions were not able to be appreciated on standard radiographs but was visualised by means of tomodensitometric studies. The patients were treated surgically to obtain an accurate reconstruction of the articular surface. The importance of tomodensitometry in the diagnosis of such lesions is stressed.
