Fractured pelvis, CT scan C016 / 6584
Fractured pelvis. Coloured computed tomography (CT) scan of the pelvis of a 56 year old that was in a road traffic accident. There are numerous fractures in the pelvic bones and the right ilium (large hip bone at left) has become displaced. These fractures will require surgical fixation to immobilise the pelvis while they heal

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a coloured computed tomography (CT) scan of a fractured pelvis belonging to a 56-year-old patient who endured the unfortunate consequences of a road traffic accident. The image reveals numerous fractures scattered across the pelvic bones, with particular emphasis on the displacement of the right ilium, which is responsible for supporting our large hip bone. The severity of these fractures necessitates surgical intervention in order to immobilize and stabilize the pelvis during the healing process. This procedure aims to facilitate proper alignment and promote optimal recovery. The visual representation not only highlights the intricate details of this complex injury but also serves as a reminder of how fragile our bodies can be when faced with traumatic events. It underscores both the resilience and vulnerability that coexist within us. As we observe this striking image, it becomes evident that medical advancements such as CT scans play an indispensable role in diagnosing and treating injuries like these. By providing healthcare professionals with detailed insights into internal structures, CT scans enable accurate assessments leading to appropriate interventions. Ultimately, this photograph encapsulates both scientific progress and human fragility while emphasizing the importance of medical expertise in restoring health and well-being after experiencing life-altering accidents or injuries.
