Comparative Analysis of Computed Tomography and Conventional Radiography in Diagnosis of Hip Joint Trauma / 实用放射学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To compare the efficacy of computed tomography(CT)and comventional X-ray plain film in assessing hip joint trauma.Methods:76 patients with hip joint trauma were studied by CT and X-ray plain film.The efficacy of CT and X-ray plain film in assessing the acetabular fracture,femoral head and neck fracture,intra-articular loose bone fragment,dislocation of hip joint,and para-articular soft tissue injuries was evaluated and compared.Results:CT was superior to X-ray plain film in demonstrating acetabular fracture,femoral head fracture and intraarticular loose bone fragment.CT was also effectively in revealing of intra-articular effusion and hemorrhage,paraarticular soft swelling.Conclusion:CT was a necessary way to evaluated hip joint trauma,and was more effective than X-ray plain film in diagnosis of hip joint trauma.
