Abstract

An X-ray examination is a basic and final technique in the diagnostics of most elbow region fractures. Coronoid fractures are complicated injuries and need to be carefully evaluated before deciding on the most appropriate course of treatment. In these fractures the identification and location of the broken fragments and their origin create significant difficulties. The main goal of this paper is an evaluation of the usefulness of spiral CT and 3D reconstruction techniques in the diagnostics of complicated fractures of that region. Following analysis of the line of fractures, the injuries were classified in two categories. 11 fractures of the coronoid were analyzed. 3D reconstruction is a very useful method which always helps to obtain the best outcome.
