Comparison of X-Ray Imaging and Computed Tomography Scan in the Evaluation of Knee Trauma

Abstract: Background and objectives: The aim of the study was to compare the accuracy of X-ray (XR) imaging according to computed tomography (CT) scanning in the diagnosis of knee bone fractures, and in the determination of fracture characteristics, and to identify CT scan indications in patients with knee trauma. Materials and methods: The patients who presented to the emergency department (ED) due to knee trauma between January 2017 and December 2018 and who underwent XR imaging and CT scans were included in the study… Show more

“…For example, the diagnosis effect is not comprehensive enough in the face of occult illness or complicated symptoms, and it has certain harm to the human body due to radiation. In addition, the anatomical resolution of X-ray is low due to the overlapping of the patient's bone structures [ 4 ]. Especially when the fracture plane is an inclined plane and the articular surface of the tibial plateau collapses, the tissue overlap will lead to the inability to accurately and effectively distinguish the joint injury [ 5 ].…”

“…However, Dr Ramzan's apparent suggestion that radiography is equal to CT or sufficient for the detection of subtle fracture or bone density change is flatly unsupported by the human literature, where a plethora of publications demonstrate the improved sensitivity, specificity and characterisation of fracture identification in various body parts 3–10 . Would this not also reasonably apply to equine CT as it does in human imaging?…”

“…However, in the context of pathological fractures, radiographs are insufficient to plan adequate interventions. CT scan can give a more precise analysis of the cortex, periosteum, and trabeculae [ 8 ]. MRI is known to be better for studying soft tissue and bone marrow.…”
