Abstract
Since the first edition of this book, the use of CT scanning has become widespread and is now almost routine. At present only a few centres have access to 3-D CT reconstruction; when this is available everywhere, the understanding of acetabular fractures will be much easier. With good 3-D analysis, one just needs to know the classification to be able to link the case being treated to one of the fracture types described. It made us very happy to see that the 3-D images fully confirm the descriptions we gave of the different types of acetabular fracture.
