ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze and compare images of radial head fracture of 50 patients acquired by computed radiology(CR),coronal plane and axial plane of CT scan.And to determine routine plane of CT scan for radial head fracture.Methods Images of of radial head were acquired by CR,coronal plane and axial plane of CT scan on 50 patients with radial head fracture initially diagnosed by orthopedists. classify all the cases of radial head fracture into type Ⅰ、Ⅱ、Ⅲ and Ⅳ according to the classification proposed by Mason.Results The positive incidence of CT and CR were 96%(48)and 78%(39) respectively.Cases of 94%o(47)through CT coronal scan and 82%(41)eases through CT axial scan were exactly classified.Conclusion The designation of the plane of CT scan is significant to the classification of the radial head fracture.Coronal plane CT scan can meet the need of imaging clinical classification and is recommended to be routine plane of radial head fracture.In order to ensure the exact classification axial plane and 3D reconstruction technique should be added for type Ⅲ and type Ⅳ of radial head fracture.
