Where appropriate Judet views or limited exposure computed tomography scan remain of diagnostic benefit. Displacement greater than 1 cm should be reduced and held with an appropriate method. Closed reduction and external fixation for rotationally unstable fractures, and closed or open reduction with internal fixation of two columns should be considered for rotationally and vertically unstable fractures.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
