CT scanning is indicated in acetabular fractures for determination of surgical approach and techniques, evaluation of marginal impaction and presence of intra-articular loose bodies (especially after hip dislocation), and evaluation of fracture piece sizes and relative positions. Kellam et al reviewed their initial experience with CT scanning and acetabular fractures, and noted a 25% change in surgical planning when CT was utilized versus plain radiographs; they also noted the ability to detect marginal impaction and fracture size/position was improved with CT.
