Abstract
Accurate characterization of acetabular fractures can be difficult because of the complex acetabular anatomy and the many fracture patterns. In this article, the five most common acetabular fractures are reviewed: both-column, T-shaped, transverse, transverse with posterior wall, and isolated posterior wall. Fracture patterns on radiography are correlated with CT, including multiplanar reconstruction and 3D surface rendering. In the evaluation of the five most common acetabular fractures, assessment of the obturator ring, followed by the iliopectineal and ilioischial lines and iliac wing, for fracture allows accurate classification. CT is helpful in understanding the various fracture patterns.
