To evaluate the effectiveness of three-dimensional CT in classifying acetabular fractures and aiding surgical planning.
Prospective study involving 52 patients with acetabular fractures
Used multidetector computed tomography and analyzed 2D and 3D datasets
Classified fractures with three methods: Judet–Letournel, OTA/AO, and Harris systems
Recorded reporting times for imaging modalities
Anterior column fractures were the most common subtype (32.7%)
Mean interpretation time for 3D (35.58 seconds) was significantly lower than 2D (65.42 seconds)
88.2% agreement in surgical recommendations based on imaging and actual operative management
Postoperative assessments showed 45.8% anatomical reduction and 45.8% satisfactory reduction.
