To understand the fracture pattern of a fractured acetabulum, it is essential to have minimum three x-ray views, though use of CT scan with 3-D reconstruction of images has made understanding of these fractures easier. # Pelvis with both hips antero posterior view. This view shows six important landmarks of the acetabulum, specifically: #* Pelvic brim #* Ilio ischial line #* Tear drop #* Anterior wall #* Posterior wall #* Weight bearing dome # Iliac oblique view. This view shows the whole of the ilium, the posterior column, and the anterior wall # Obturator oblique view. Shows the anterior column and the posterior wall. White: Anterior column, Red: Posterior column Obturator view showing Anterior column and Posterior wall Iliac oblique view showing Posterior column and Anterior wall Patterns of fracture Tile's classification of<unk> : * I - Simple fracture, anterior or posterior wall column * II - Transverse fracture * III - T - Type fracture involving two columns * IV - Both columns fractures, floating acetabulum
