title: [Radiographic diagnosis of injuries of the pelvic ring in acute trauma].
abstract: Data on 58 victims with multifocal damages to the pelvic ring were used to examine the diagnostic potentialities of different radiation diagnostic techniques and to compare their resolving power. The latter was 65.1, 83.3, and 94.7% in plain and multidimensional X-ray studies, and computed tomography, respectively. The paper describes the complex of signs of closed sacral fractures on plain X-ray films and oblique pelvic inlet (cauda), proposed by the authors, which could improve the diagnosis of fractures by 8.8 times, and an original orthopedic gauze-plate for the detection and estimation of invisible pelvic bone displacement, and an original procedure for pelvic X-ray study with targeted load in acute injury. This all can improve the quality of examination of the injured substantially and define indications for different treatments more correctly.
