A New Algorithm for Classifying Acetabular Fracture Patterns on Three-dimensional Computed Tomography Reconstructions Markedly Improves Residents' Ability to Correctly Classify Fractures.

Overall, we believe this method is a reproducible diagnostic tool that will assist residents in classifying acetabular fractures. We were able to demonstrate that with the use of this algorithm, residents' ability to correctly classify acetabular fractures is markedly enhanced, regardless of year in training. This algorithm will be a useful adjunct to assist and advance trainees' education and understanding of a complex topic.
