| Abstract |
We present a novel minimally invasive technique for lumbopelvic instrumentation in selected elderly patients suffering from traumatic sacrolisthesis. An 82-year-old female suffered from sacrolisthesis after a fall. She developed significant low back pain and bilateral lower extremity radiculopathy. Preoperative radiographs and magnetic resonance imaging sequences demonstrated the fracture dislocation between S1 and S2 with compromise of the spinal canal. Lumbopelvic instrumentation was sought to offer fixation and allow mobilization; however, open lumbopelvic instrumentation techniques have significant morbidity, especially in this patient population of elderly patients with medical comorbidities. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 27 February 2012.
All research outputs
#18,304,874
of 22,663,150 outputs
Outputs from European Spine Journal
#2,453
of 4,594 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#121,559
of 156,341 outputs
Outputs of similar age from European Spine Journal
#40
of 68 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,663,150 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,594 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.1. This one is in the 20th percentile – i.e., 20% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 156,341 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 9th percentile – i.e., 9% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 68 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 29th percentile – i.e., 29% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
