Multislice CT in diagnosis of associated carpal bone fractures in distal radial fractures / 中华全科医师杂志

ABSTRACT

Clinical data and radiological findings of 78 patients with distal radial fractures,who underwent plain X-ray film and muhislice CT (MSCT) examinations,were retrospectively analyzed.Twenty nine associated carpal bone factures were detected on X-ray film in 21 cases;while 47 associated carpal bone fractures were detected on MSCT in 29 cases (P ＜ 0.05).The missed diagnosis rate of X-ray was 38％.Results indicate that MSCT can significantly improve the detect rate,which should be recommended for diagnosis of associated carpal bone fractures in distal radial fractures.
