Abstract

BACKGROUND: The two-dimensional (2D) imaging represents an essential and cost-effective component of intraoperative position control in fracture stabilization, even in the era of new three-dimensional (3D) imaging capabilities.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of the present study, in addition to a current literature review, was to examine whether the intraoperative use of 2D images leads to a quality of fracture reduction comparable to postoperative computed tomographic (CT) analysis including 3D reconstructions.

MATERIAL AND METHODS: A comparative retrospective analysis of intraoperative 2D and postoperative 3D image data was performed on 21 acetabular fractures stabilized via a pararectus approach according to an established protocol using the Matta criteria.

RESULTS: The assessment of fracture reduction in intraoperative fluoroscopy compared with postoperative CT revealed a difference only in one case with respect to the categorization of the joint step reduction in the main loading zone.

CONCLUSION: In the intraoperative use of 2D imaging for fracture treatment it is important to select the correct adjustment planes taking the anatomical conditions into account in order to achieve optimum assessability. In this way, the reduction result can be adequately displayed in fluoroscopy and is also comparable to the postoperative CT control. In addition, depending on the findings, optional intraoperative dynamic fluoroscopic assessment can have a direct influence on the further surgical procedure.
