Abstract:
[Objective]To investigate the clinical use of spiral CT with 3D Reconstruction for fractures of the tri-ankle joint.[Method]Fifty-six cases of tri-ankle joint fractures treated in our hospital from 1999 to 2004 were studied respectively.The ankle joint X-ray and spiral CT with 3D reconstruction were taken for all the cases preoperatively.The results were analyzed and compared with finding in operation .Scanning parameters of spiral CT were: 2 to 5mm collimation,3 to 5mm table speed and 1.5 to 3mm reconstruction interval.[Result]Fractures were demonstrated definitely by spiral CT in all the cases.Analyses of the results showed the superiority of spiral CT with 3D reconstruction in the fracture classification.Exact assessment of fragments and total agreement of the preoperative results were compared with findings in operation.[Conclusion]Operative treatment and rehabilitation may provide satisfactory fracture reduction and clinical results for ankle joint fracture.Well-timed treatment,correct fracture pattern estimation,proper internal fixation and rehabilitation are important to achieve better long term results.
