How does surgery fix this with all the shards and such? That whole reconstruction must be a nightmare. He was fully neurologically intact and able to talk. Man was cutting down a tree with a chainsaw, and the tree fell back on him.
I'll have to find an update on his condition post surgery.

Well I've only taken the introductory radiology classes, but I would venture to confirm that there is in fact a skull fracture there...
And yes, very, very carefully. Or you could ju9st print him a new one with a 3D printer...

Obviously, otherwise you'd know you HAVE to correlate clinically. Remember the radiologist favorite plant...

Not sure... but that's why neurosurg gets paid the big bucks. Also, as the joke goes, how do you hide a $100 bill from a neurosurgeon? Tape it to his kid.

That looks like a pretty serious fracture
