Abstract

Increasing experience with computed tomographic evaluation of head trauma reveals this radiologic modality to be superior to conventional polytomography in the assessment of certain areas of maxillofacial injury. A comparison of hypocycloidal polytomography and computed tomography in nine patients with fractures of the medial wall of the orbit reveals CT to be superior in localization of the fracture site, delineation of displaced bone fragments, and recognition of herniation of intraorbital contents into the ethmoid labyrinth. Information regarding damage to the nasolacrimal duct and associated intraorbital abnormalities such as the presence and location of hemorrhage and foreign bodies is also available from the CT scan.

Many fractures occur in individuals without osteoporosis defined by areal bone mineral density (aBMD). Inclusion of other aspects of skeletal strength may be useful in identifying at-risk subjects. We used surrogate measures of bone strength at the radius and tibia measured by peripheral quantitativ
