Abstract
Three-dimensional imaging can provide a valuable perceptual link between
conventional radiographs and axial computed tomographic scans in the
evaluation of complex acetabular fractures. With the 3D83 computer program,
three-dimensional images can be generated to correlate with standard
radiographic views. Unique images can also be created that offer perspectives
unobtainable by conventional radiography. More sophisticated interactive
techniques allow computer simulation of surgical approaches.
