Core Tip
Core Tip: Multi-slice spiral computed tomography has high guiding significance for the diagnosis, classification, and treatment of unstable pelvic fractures in elderly individuals. Preoperative three-dimensional reconstruction can effectively shorten the operation time and promote fracture healing, and minimally invasive internal fixation can effectively reduce pain and promote functional recovery of fracture sites, making it worthy of clinical application.
