Figure 1

This figure shows the acquired measurements for fracture dislocation in CT and 3D T1 FFE “bone sequence” (A). Nerve diameters showed a significant increase proximal of the fracture location (B). Further, it could be revealed that aNMCNR (C) and aSNR (D) were significantly higher at the fractured site compared to the healthy controls and to the contralateral side. (B) *p = 0.004, **p = 0.005, (C) *p = 0.007, **p = 0.021, (D) *p = 0.040.
