Abstract：Objective To investigate the value of emergency Computed Tomography in the examination of knee fractures and ligament injuries.Methods 102 patients with knee fracture and/or ligament injury admit-ted to Yinan PanfengOrthopaedic Hospital from July 2023～March 2024 were selected,and all patients underwent emergency CT and X-ray examinations.The detection of knee fractures and ligament injuries by CT and X-ray was compared.Results All patients had knee fractures,and the detection rate of knee fractures by CT was 99.02％,which was significantly higher than that of X-ray(69.61％),and the difference was statistically signifi-cant(P＜0.001).Among the 102 patients,77 patients had ligament injury,and the detection rate of ligament injury by CT was 77.92％,which was significantly higher than that of X-ray(22.08％),and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.001).Conclusion Emergency CT scan has a high detection rate in the examination of knee fractures and ligament injuries and can be widely used in the examination of emergency bone and joint injuries.
