Sixteen consecutive patients with tibial plateau fractures were investigated by standard radiography, biplanar tomography and computerised axial tomograms (CT scans). It was found that CT scanning proved most helpful for classifying the type of fracture, for evaluating the degree of comminution, and for measuring displacement. Moreover, because a single position was maintained throughout the investigation, the patients felt less discomfort than during other assessment procedures. For these reasons CT scanning is recommended for evaluating this type of fracture. |
