BACKGROUND: Little is known about the additional prognostic value of computed tomography (CT) in addition to computed radiography in displaced @entity7334 . Thepresent study was undertaken to examine and compare the final radiographic outcomes and the prevalence of treatment methods of displaced @entity7334 in @entity1 with preoperative computed radiography alone vs. a combination ofcomputed radiography and computed tomogra- phy. MATERIAL AND METHOD: Thirty-four @entity1 with 38 displaced @entity7334 were divided into two groups: a group that was evaluated with computed tomography and computed radiography (17 @entity1 ; 20 @entity174 ) and a group that was evaluated with computed radiography alone (17 @entity1 ; 18 @entity174 ). @entity1 demographics, pre- operative and postoperative Bohler's angles, and @entity174 classifications were recorded. Postoperative outcomes were evaluated using calcanealfracture radiographic scores (modified Zwipp score). RESULTS: The mean age ofour @entity1 in the present study was 43.3    12.3 years. The mean age ofthe @entity1 in the computed tomography group (48.4    11.6 years) was significantly higher than that of the non-computed tomography group (37.6    10.7 years, p = 0.005). The mean follow-up time was 17.4    9.8 months. There was a significantly higher prevalence of open reduction and internalfixation in the computed tomography group versus the non-computed tomography group (p = 0.019). However there was no significant difference observed for the mean radiographic scores. Postoperatively, outcomes were satisfactory in both groups, although intra-articular alignment was significantly better in the computed tomography group (p = 0.020). CONCLUSION: The overall outcomes were comparable between the @entity1 groups with computed tomography vs. those without computed tomography, exceptfor the superiority of postoperative intra-articular alignment in @entity1 with computed tomography. Open reduction and internal fixation were more frequently performed in the @entity1 with computed tomography than @entity1 without computed tomography.

Does the addition of computed tomography to computed radiography provide more value to final outcomes and treatment decisions in displaced XXXX ?
