Analysis of Sports Knee Fractures Based on X-Ray and Computed Tomography Imaging

OBJECTIVE: To analyse the X-ray and computed tomography (CT) findings of 128 patients with sports-related knee fractures and to improve the diagnosis rate based on the existing methods of diagnosis of sports knee fractures on X-ray and CT images. METHOD: In this study, we retrospectively analyse the medical records of 128 cases of sports-related fractures in the hospital, analyse the results of X-ray examination and CT imaging of patients with sports knee fractures, and compare the results obtained by the two examination methods, while referring to MRI images performed. RESULTS: CT examination of knee fractures, tibial plateau fractures, and knee joint free body results were compared with X-ray results (P < 0.05), while CT examination of patella fractures and X-ray results were compared. The difference was not statistically significant (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION: For imaging examination of knee fractures, a single ordinary X-ray or CT scan should be selected according to the specific situation of the patient. For patients with suspected unstable fractures, when the patient's informed consent and the condition are not allowed, ordinary X-ray film combined with CT examination is used to improve the accuracy of diagnosis and avoid the existence of hidden fractures, resulting in medical accidents.
