Fig. 5From: Application of computerized virtual preoperative planning procedures in comminuted posterior wall acetabular fractures surgeryA typical case: A 40-year-old man presented with comminuted posterior wall acetabular fractures of the right acetabulum following a traffic accident. The computerized virtual preoperative planning procedures were applied for the treatment. Preoperative AP view (a), 3D-CT (b), and cross-sectional CT image (c) show comminuted posterior wall acetabular fractures with significant displacement. A 3D virtual model of right acetabulum with separate fragments was reconstructed (d, e). Preoperative planning of internal fixation methods was achieved on the post-reduction model (f). Postoperative AP view (g), 3D-CT (h), and cross-sectional CT image (i) show an anatomical reduction according to Matta grading scoreBack to article page
