2 Figs. 1-A, 1-B, and 1-C: Measurement of the roof-arc angles as defined by Matta et al.10. MARK S. VRAHAS et al. J Bone Joint Surg Am 1999;81:966- 74 ©1999 by The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, Inc.

3 Fig. 1-B: The anterior roof-arc angle is measured on an obturator oblique radiograph. MARK S. VRAHAS et al. J Bone Joint Surg Am 1999;81:966- 74 ©1999 by The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, Inc.

4 Fig. 1 The posterior roof-arc angle is measured on an iliac oblique radiograph. MARK S. VRAHAS et al. J Bone Joint Surg Am 1999;81:966- 74 ©1999 by The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, Inc.

5 Figs. 2-A and 2-B: Schematic diagrams showing the location of the simulated anterior column and posterior column fractures. MARK S. VRAHAS et al. J Bone Joint Surg Am 1999;81:966- 74 ©1999 by The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, Inc.

6 Fig. 2 The simulated posterior column fractures were classified as very low (just superior to the ischial spine), low, intermediate, and high (at the level of the greater sciatic notch). MARK S.
