Digital Anatomy to Improve Screw Insertion Techniques for Plate-Screw Fixation of the Pubic Body

Figure 1

Confirmation of the screw insertion sites. The upper left figure illustrates the measurements of the plate for pelvic reconstruction. The lower right figure displays a top view of the hemipelvis. The red curve illustrates the pelvic boundary. The green curve mirrors the red curve from a distance of 5 mm. The outer edge of the pubic tubercle boundary, m, and the green curve intersected at point S, which was the starting point for the plate. The M (6.5 mm away from the S point) and L points (19.5 mm away from the S point) were the insertion sites for the inner and outer screws, respectively.
