Methodology to Transfer High Volumes of Data for Distant Expert Radiographic Evaluation of Pelvic Ring Injuries

Inclusion Criteria: * 1\) admission to the author's institution between January 2012 and December 2023; * 2\) high-energy pelvic ring injury involving a non-pathologic pelvis (i.e., no prior injury, pathology, or surgery compromising image interpretation), surgically treated within three weeks of injury; * 3\) age ≥18 years at the time of trauma. Exclusion Criteria: * 1\) imaging acquired after any kind of surgical stabilization (i.e. emergent external fixation), which could bias injury assessment; * 2\) incomplete imaging dataset, defined as the absence of any of the following: pelvic computed tomography, standard anteroposterior pelvic radiograph with pelvic binder, and standard anteroposterior pelvic radiograph without pelvic binder; * 3\) poor image quality, including incomplete pelvic coverage, computed tomography slice thickness \>2 mm, motion artifacts, or incompatibility with the image viewer used for the study; * 4\) documented (written or verbal) refusal to participate.
