Background: Postoperative pelvic radiographs are routinely used to assess acetabular fracture reduction. We compared and computed tomography (CT) with regard their ability detect residual displacement. also determined the association between quality of reduction as assessed on CT hip survivorship identified risk factors for conversion total arthroplasty (THA). Methods: Patients were included in study who had undergone fixation 1992 2012, followed ≥2 years (or until early THA), whom a scan...
Historically, the greatest residual (gap or step) displacement is used to predict clinical outcome following acetabular fracture surgery. Gap and step may, however, impact different degrees. We assessed individual relationship between gap hip survivorship determined their independent association with conversion total arthroplasty.Patients who had fixation (from 1992 through 2014), follow-up of ≥2 years (or early arthroplasty), postoperative computed tomography (CT) scans were included. Of...
BACKGROUND The sliding computed tomographic (CT) scanner in our trauma resuscitation room can be used early the assessment of pelvic ring fracture patients. We determined association between presence a blush on CT scan and need for hemorrhage control (PHC). hypothesized that many blushes found phase safely managed without intervention. METHODS Contrast-enhanced scans (pelvic disruption) patients admitted from January 1, 2004, to June 31, 2012, were reviewed blush. PHC was defined as...
Up to 44% of ankle fractures have involvement the posterior tibial margin. Fracture size and morphology are important factors guide treatment these fragments, but reliability plain radiography in estimating is low. The aim current study was evaluate accuracy 2-dimensional computed tomography (2DCT) assessment malleolar fractures. Additionally, diagnostic 2DCT its value preoperative planning evaluated.
Pelvic fractures are potentially life-threatening injuries with high mortality rates, mainly due to intractable pelvic arterial bleeding. However, concomitant frequent and may also be the cause of significant blood loss. As treatment varies depending on location type hemorrhage, timely imaging is critical importance. Contrast-enhanced CT offers fast detailed information Angiography embolization for fracture particularly when performed early, has shown success rates as well low complication...
Acetabular fractures are complex and difficult to classify. Although the Judet–Letournel classification is designed increase understanding of acetabular fractures, it remains prone error when using conventional medical imaging. We hypothesize that three-dimensional (3D) printing, as a new diagnostic imaging tool, will lead an increased knowledge optimal surgical approach. Digital data (DICOM) 20 were converted into 3D files [standard tessellation language (STL) data]. These STL used prepare...
Quality of reduction after acetabular fracture surgery is an important predictor clinical outcome. Computed tomography (CT) likely superior to plain pelvic radiography for assessment postoperative reduction, but interobserver reliability may be limited in the absence a widely adopted technique. We describe standardized digital CT-based method measuring residual (gap and step) displacement on CT surgery. In selection patients, we determined grading quality CT, with without use this novel
Highlights•PROMIS-MOB and PROMIS-PF CATs exhibited a strong correlation with the LEFS SMFA, indicating that they offer same information regarding mobility general physical functioning.•CATs took less time to complete were better able detect (subtle) differences between certain groups than traditionally used PROMs.•It is questionable whether more specific CAT provides distinct in lower extremity fracture patients given both PROMIS-MOB also highly correlated.•The relation symptoms of...
In our institution, the computed tomographic (CT) scan has largely replaced ultrasound for rapid detection of intraperitoneal free fluid (FF) and abdominal injuries in severely injured patients.We hypothesized that major pelvic fracture patients, quantifying size FF on CT improves predictive value need hemorrhage control (AHC).The scans (pelvic ring disruption) patients (January 1, 2004, to June 31, 2012) were reviewed presence (small, moderate, or large amount) injuries. AHC was defined as...
Computed tomography (CT) is more accurate than plain pelvic radiography (PXR) for evaluating acetabular fracture reduction. As yet unknown whether CT-based assessment predictive clinical outcome. We determined the independent association between reduction quality according to both methods and native hip survivorship following fixation.Retrospectively, 220 patients were reviewed. Reductions on PXR graded as adequate or inadequate (0-1 mm > 1 displacement) (Matta's criteria). For assessment,...
