Figure 10

Representative case of an incomplete cranial burst fracture A 3.1.1. treated with sole dorsal instrumentation. CT scans in the midsagittal plane before (a) and after (b) fracture, as well as after treatment (c) and after cyclic loading (d). Note that after treatment limited height restoration was achieved. This could not be maintained after cyclic loading.
