A review of computerized tomography evaluation of acetabular fractures--part 1.

Computerized tomography is an established modality for use in the evaluation of acetabular fractures. As open reduction and internal fixation of acetabular fractures becomes more common, the need for an accurate understanding of the fracture anatomy is critical. An anatomic study of the innominate bone is reported and the relevant standard radiographic landmarks as seen with computerized tomography are illustrated.
