Figure 1.
(A) Preoperative axial T2 magnetic resonance image (MRI) of the L5-S1 disk space demonstrating minor disk desiccation on the left but no significant central canal, lateral recess, or neuroforaminal stenosis that could explain a left L5 radiculopathy. (B and C) Preoperative left parasagittal T2 and STIR MRIs demonstrating the left pedicle fracture with surrounding STIR signal. STIR, short T1 inversion recovery.
