Findings
Findings
Comminuted right posterior wall acetabular fracture. The fracture is centered at the posterosuperior aspect of the acetabular wall. Transverse width of the fracture fragments is less than 20% of the entire transverse width of the posterior acetabular wall. Fracture fragments are posteriorly displaced and angulated. No marginal impaction. Multiple intra-articular osseous fragments as discussed below. The fracture fragment reaches the weightbearing acetabular dome.
Comminuted fracture of the inferior aspect of the femoral head. Fracture remains inferior to the fovea capitis. The largest fragment measures 2.2 x 0.8 cm in axial dimension and is displaced along the anterior aspect of the femoral head/neck. Multiple other intra-articular bodies are present in the medial, inferior, and superior aspects of the joint. There is slight posterolateral subluxation of the right hip, due to the presence of intra-articular bodies.
There is hematoma about the fracture, including intramuscular hematoma within the right piriformis and gluteus minimus muscles.
Degenerative changes at the L5-S1 level.
Bladder is collapsed around a Foley catheter. Residual contrast material is present within the bladder.
