title: Acetabular fracture assessment with computerized tomography.
abstract: Twenty-four patients have been evaluated to demonstrate the role of computerized tomography (CT) in assessment of acetabular fractures. CT is important in defining the articular dome, intraarticular and femoral head abnormalities, associated sacroiliac damage and soft-tissue injury. The CT examination can be obtained with minimal additional discomfort to the patient.
