Findings
Findings
Patient imaged on a backboard
Widening of the left sacroiliac joint. Widening of the pubic symphysis measuring up to 3.6 cm. Osseous irregularity along the posterior aspect of the left iliac bone, suggesting fracture.
Right ilioischial and iliopubic (iliopectineal) lines are disrupted. Possible additional fracture of the right posterior wall. No evidence for fracture elsewhere in the right ilium or of the right obturator ring. Findings suggest a transverse right acetabular fracture.
Widening of the right teardrop distance suggesting joint effusion.
Degenerative changes in the visualized lower lumbar spine.
Impression
Right acetabular fracture with a transverse component.
