Bone fractures in children's traumas are enormous problem not only from psychological point of view but in these cases the diagnostic issue is much more relevant. The correct diagnosis leads to proper treatment and reduces the risk of adverse effects. For this reason, plain radiography is not the only step in diagnostic procedure and is often combined with Computed Tomography (CT) and sometimes with Magnetic Resonance (MR). The aim of the study was to assess a contribution of three dimensional volume rendering (3D VRT) images on the diagnosis and the possible qualification to the surgical treatment. The study was performed on 21 patients (12 boys, 9 girls) hospitalized at Pediatric Surgery Department in Sosnowiec from January 2007 to April 2008. All of the patients underwent plain radiography as the first diagnostic step and had CT as an additional imaging procedure. A total number of fractures were 28 vs. 32, respectively diagnosed on X-ray and CT scans. The necessity of surgical reposition was present in 8 patients. Spiral CT and its postprocessing technique 3D VRT play major role in musculoskeletal trauma. They bring particular importance in fracture detailed estimating and any multiorgan injuries. However, the need of performing CT should be limited to uncertain cases and before operation planning because of higher radiation dose.
