From: Surgical outcomes of transverse acetabular fractures and risk factors for poor outcomes
A 47-year old woman involved in a traffic accident. a Immediate radiograph and three-dimensional computed tomography (CT) images show transverse and posterior wall fractures of acetabulum. Dome impaction (arrow) was observed in coronal view of CT scan. b Postoperative radiographs revealed that satisfactory reduction and fixation were achieved. c However, axial and coronal CT views show a residual gap > 3 mm and poor reduction and fixation of the dome fragment. d Osteoarthritis developed and total hip arthroplasty was performed at 6 months after surgery
