Pelvis — Fracture

This image of a fractured right pelvis was made from 46 CT slices. It shows a superior/inferior view of the pelvis, i.e., the patient is lying on their back, and we are looking down through the body from the head towards the feet.

A complicated fracture divides the right hemi-pelvis into five fragments, converging on the apex of the acetabulum: anterior inferior; posterior inferior; anterior superior; posterior superior; posterior acetabular tip.

Identifying the fracture planes, and categorizing the fragments by location with respect to the acetabulum, would be nearly impossible in this case without the Voxgram® image.
