Abstract

Objective: To explore the diagnosing value of CT in occult fracture. Methods: 84 patients with occult fracture were respectively analyzed. They were 64 male cases and 20 female cases. ranging from 7 to 73 in age. with an average of 42.6 years. All of the patients were scanned by CT in axial or coronal position. Results: Spinal fractures were found in 28. hip fractures in 8, tibia plateau fractures in 11. orbit fractures in 12. temporal bone fractures in 13. and scapula fractures in 12 cases. Conclusion; CT has significant value in diagnosing occult fracture. Once fracture is suspected clinically. and yet negative plain radiography is encountered, CT scanning is recommended.
