Multi-slice spiral computed tomography in diagnosing unstable pelvic fractures in elderly and effect of less invasive stabilization

Figure 1 Preoperative pelvic radiography. A, B: Pelvic X-ray (A) and multi-slice computed tomography scan (B) used to observe the fracture.

Figure 2 Preoperative pelvic computed tomography. A, B: Multi-planar reconstruction, volume rendering, and maximum intensity projection were performed of the original image data of multi-slice spiral computed tomography scan to create each multi-planar three-dimensional reconstructed image.

Figure 3 Preoperative three-dimensional reconstruction image. The three-dimensional (3D) surgical simulation was the construction of 3D reconstructed images by X-ray and multi-slice spiral computed tomography.

Figure 4 Intraoperative fluoroscopy image. The image showing minimally invasive fixation with hollow lag screws.

Figure 5 Postoperative pelvic X-ray images. A, B: Pelvic X-ray (A) and multi-slice spiral computed tomography scan (B) were used to observe the pelvic reduction at 3 mo postoperative.
