Abstract
High-quality imaging is crucial for orthopedic traumatologists in the evaluation and management of pelvic and acetabular fractures. Computed tomography (CT) plays an essential role in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with these complex injuries. A thoughtful evaluation of associated soft tissues can reveal additional details about the patient and their injury that may impact treatment. This review aims to highlight soft tissue findings that should be identified when evaluating the initial diagnostic imaging after pelvic and acetabular trauma.
