Abstract:
Objective To analyse the CT findings of acute knee joint injury (AKJI) so as to evaluate the value and limitation of CT in the diagnosis of AKJI. Methods Sixty cases of AKJI were examined with X-ray plain film and thin-section of CT scanning, while three-dimensional reconstruction of CT was performed routinely as well. The results of X-ray films and CT scanning were analysed and compared with clinical data and operative findings retrospectively. Results In 60 cases of AKJI, 141 fractures were found on CT examination, however, only 104 fractures were found on X-ray films. The difference of the results between the two diagnostic imagings was statistically significant(?2=38.12, P
