In the 21st century, use of automobiles have not only revolutionized transport system across the globe, but have changed the lifestyle of human beings. The chief drawback of this gift is increase in cases of accidents. Most of accidents associated with polytrauma involve pelvis. In pelvic injuries, acetabular fractures and fracture dislocations of hip joint are common. The radiological evaluation of hip and acetabulum has been revolutionized by development of computed tomography because of itsfine definition of sectional anatomy and accurate evaluation of pelvic trauma.The study included 30 polytrauma cases, attending theRadiodiagnosis Department of Rajindra Hospital Patiala.
