To determine the presence of a consistent osseous corridor from the lateral-posterior aspect of the anterior inferior iliac spine to the sacral wing that could be used for safe trans percutaneous screw fixation for pelvic fragility fractures of the iliac wing and fracture dislocations of the sacroiliac joint (FFP types IIIa and IIIb). Computed tomography (CT) scans were obtained from 100 patients and imported to Mimics software for 3D reconstruction. Then, a cylinder was drawn to imitate the modified LC-II screw and adjusted to a maximum radius and length to obtain the feasible region. Thirteen parameters of the osseous corridor of the modified LC-II screw were measured. Differences between sex groups were compared, and significant statistical correlations were carefully studied to determine potentially important clinical relationships. The records of patients with FFP type IIIa and IIIb fragility fractures of the pelvis were extracted from our hospital. Patients who underwent modified LC-II screw fixation, LC-II screw fixation or reconstruction plate fixation were included. Patients' operative characteristics and complications were recorded at follow-up. Fracture reduction quality was assessed using the Matta standard. Functional outcomes were evaluated using the Majeed grading system. The mean maximum diameters of the osseous corridors of the modified LC-II screw in males and females were 12.73 and 10.83 mm, respectively. The mean maximum lengths of the osseous corridors of the modified LC-II screw in males and females were 96.37 and 93.37 mm, respectively. In the treatment of patients with FFP IIIa and FFP IIIb fractures, the group of treatment by the modified LC-II screws fixation was shown significantly shorter operative time and fewer intraoperative blood loss in comparison to that by the reconstruction plates. In the present study, all the males and females had a complete osseous corridor of the modified LC-II screw. The clinical results of the patients who were treated with modified LC-II screw fixation suggest that the novel method has a good preliminary outcome.

Unstable traumas of the spinopelvic junction, which include displaced U-shaped sacral fractures (Roy-Camille type 2 and type 3) and Tile C vertical shear pelvic ring disruptions, occur in severe traumas patients following high speed traffic accident or fall from a height. These unstable traumas of the spinopelvic junction jeopardize one's ability to stand and to walk by disrupting the biomechanical arches of the pelvis, and may also cause cauda equina syndrome. Historically, such patients were treated with bed rest and could suffer a life-long burden of orthopedic and neurological disability. Since Schildhauer pioneer work back in 2003, triangular spinopelvic fixation, whether it is performed in a percutaneous fashion or by open reduction and internal fixation, allows to realign bone fragments of the spinopelvic junction and to resume walking within three weeks. Nevertheless, such procedure remains highly technical and it not encountered very often, even for spine surgeons working in high-volume level 1 trauma centers. Hence, this visual technical note aims to provide a few tips to guide less experience surgeons to complete this procedure safely.

OBJECTIVES: Lateral compression type II pelvic ring injuries can be treated with fixation through open or percutaneous approaches depending on the injury pattern and available osseous fixation pathways. The start site of iliosacral screws to stabilize these injuries should be on the unstable posterior iliac fragment; however, our understanding of start sites for iliosacral screws has not been developed. The purpose of this study is to provide an analysis of iliosacral screw start sites on the posterior ilium to help guide treatment of pelvic ring injuries. METHODS: One-hundred and seventeen consecutive patients at an academic level I trauma center with pelvic ring injuries who underwent surgical treatment with iliosacral screws were included in the final analysis. The start sites of iliosacral screws with confirmed intraosseous placement on a postoperative computed tomography were mapped on the posterior ilium and analyzed according to the sacral segment and type of iliosacral screw. RESULTS: One-hundred and seventeen patients were included in the final analysis. Of the total of 272 iliosacral screw insertion sites analyzed, 145 (53%) were sacroiliac-style screws and 127 (47%) were transsacral screws. The insertion sites for sacroiliac-style screws and transsacral screws at different sacral segment levels can vary but have predictable regions on the posterior ilium relative to reliable osseous landmarks. CONCLUSIONS: Iliosacral screws start sites on the posterior ilium have reliable regions that can be used to plan posterior fixation of pelvic ring injuries.

OBJECTIVES: to understand the morphological characteristics of iliac crest and provide advice and assistance for jaw bone reconstruction with iliac bone flap by evaluating the thickness and curvature of iliac crest. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 100 patients who had taken Spiral CT of the Abdominal region before surgeries between 2020 and 2022 were included in this study. 3D reconstruction images of the iliac bones were created. 5 vertical planes perpendicular to the iliac crest were made every 2 cm along the centerline of the iliac crest (VP2 ~ VP10). On these vertical planes, 4 perpendicular lines were made every 1 cm along the long axis of the iliac crest (D1 ~ D4). The thicknesses at these sites, horizontal angle (HA) of iliac crest and the distance between inflection point and the central point of anterior superior iliac spine (DIA) were measured. RESULTS: The thickness of iliac bone decreased significantly from D1 ~ D4 on VP6 ~ VP10 and from VP2 ~ VP10 on D3 and D4 level (P<0.05). HA of iliac crests was 149.13 ± 6.92°, and DIA was 7.36 ± 1.01 cm. Iliac bone thickness, HA and DIA had very weak or weak correlation with patient's age, height and weight. CONCLUSIONS: The average thicknesses of iliac crest were decreased approximately from front to back, from top to bottom. The thickness and curvature of the iliac crest were difficult to predict by age, height and weight. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Virtual surgical planning is recommended before jaw bone reconstruction surgery with iliac bone flap, and iliac crest process towards alveolar process might be a better choice.

CASE: A 17-year-old adolescent boy with Gross Motor Function Classification System 5 cerebral palsy and neuromuscular scoliosis underwent posterior spinal fusion and segmental spinal instrumentation from T3 to the pelvis. He developed a right ischial pressure injury a few months postoperatively, which persisted despite nonoperative measures. He subsequently underwent an ipsilateral transiliac-shortening osteotomy 16 months after spinal surgery to treat his residual pelvic obliquity and the ischial pressure injury, which healed completely. At the 1-year follow-up visit, there were no further signs of pressure injury. CONCLUSION: This case report describes transiliac-shortening osteotomy as a viable treatment option for non-healing ischial pressure injuries secondary to fixed pelvic obliquity.

PURPOSE: In patients with neuromuscular scoliosis undergoing posterior spinal fusion, the S2 alar iliac (S2AI) screw trajectory is a safe and effective method of lumbopelvic fixation but can lead to implant prominence. Here we use 3D CT modeling to demonstrate the anatomic feasibility of the S1 alar iliac screw (S1AI) compared to the S2AI trajectory in patients with neuromuscular scoliosis. METHODS: This retrospective study used CT scans of 14 patients with spinal deformity to create 3D spinal reconstructions and model the insertional anatomy, max length, screw diameter, and potential for implant prominence between 28 S2AI and 28 S1AI screw trajectories. RESULTS: Patients had a mean age of 14.42 (range 8-21), coronal cobb angle of 85° (range 54-141), and pelvic obliquity of 28° (range 4-51). The maximum length and diameter of both screw trajectories were similar. S1AI screws were, on average, 6.3 ± 5 mm less prominent than S2AI screws relative to the iliac crests. S2AI screws were feasible in all patients, while in two patients, posterior elements of the lumbar spine would interfere with S1AI screw insertion. CONCLUSION: In this cohort of patients with neuromuscular scoliosis, we demonstrate that the S1AI trajectory offers comparable screw length and diameter to an S2AI screw with less implant prominence. An S1AI screw, however, may not be feasible in some patients due to interference from the posterior elements of the lumbar spine.

INTRODUCTION: Computerized surgical navigation system guidance can improve bone tumor surgical resection accuracy. This study compared the 10-mm planned resection margin agreement between simulated pelvic-region bone tumors (SPBT) resected using either skin fiducial markers or Kirschner (K)-wires inserted directly into osseous landmarks with navigational system registration under direct observation. We hypothesized that skin fiducial markers would display similar resection margin accuracy. METHODS: Six cadaveric pelvises had one SPBT implanted into each supra-acetabular region. At the left hemi-pelvis, the skin fiducial marker group had guidance from markers placed over the pubic tubercle, the anterior superior iliac spine, the central and more posterior iliac crest, and the greater trochanter (5 markers). At the right hemi-pelvis, the K-wire group had guidance from 1.4-mm-diameter wires inserted into the pubic tubercle, and 3 inserted along the iliac crest (4 K-wires). The senior author, a fellowship-trained surgeon performed "en bloc" SPBT resections. The primary investigator, blinded to group assignment, measured actual resection margins. RESULTS: Twenty of 22 resection margins (91%) in the skin fiducial marker group were within the Bland-Altman plot 95% confidence interval for actual-planned margin mean difference (mean = -0.23 mm; 95% confidence intervals = 2.8 mm, - 3.3 mm). Twenty-one of 22 resection margins (95%) in the K-wire group were within the 95% confidence interval of actual-planned margin mean difference (mean = 0.26 mm; 95% confidence intervals = 1.7 mm, - 1.1 mm). CONCLUSION: Pelvic bone tumor resection with navigational guidance from skin fiducial markers placed over osseous landmarks provided similar accuracy to K-wires inserted into osseous landmarks. Further in vitro studies with different SPBT dimensions/locations and clinical studies will better delineate use efficacy.

BACKGROUND: Anterior cervical corpectomy and fusion achieves foraminal radicular and central medullary decompression and spinal stabilization in staged lesions. Many bone graft materials have been developed for the reconstruction of cervical lordosis and the restoration of intervertebral height after corpectomy. The PolyEtherKetoneEtherKetoneKetone (PEKEKK) is a semicrystalline thermoplastic polymer that can be reinforced with carbon fibers to create long and highly fenestrated rectangular cervical cages for corpectomy. This study aimed to evaluate the radiological outcomes of an innovative PEKEEKK cage compared with others grafting options. METHODS: Forty-five consecutive patients who underwent surgery with PEKEKK cages between 2017 and 2019 at a spine institution, were matched with 15 patients with a titanium mesh cylindrical cage (TMC) and 15 patients with a tricortical structural iliac bone graft. The restoration of vertebral height and cervical lordosis postoperatively, and subsidence of the construct were evaluated. Complications were reported. RESULTS: The minimal follow-up was 5.1±2years. A better, but nonsignificant, postoperative gain in height was observed for PEKEKK (+8.1 ± 20%) and TMC cages (+8.2 ± 16%) than for iliac crest autograft reconstruction (+2.3 ± 15%, P = 0.119). The mean subsidence at the last follow-up was greater for TMC cages (-10.2 ± 13%), but was not significant, with -6.1 ± 10% for PEKEKK cages and -4.1 ± 7% for iliac crest autografts (P = 0.223). The gain in segmental cervical lordosis was significant (P < 0.001) and remained stable in all the groups. CONCLUSIONS: Although an improvement in radiologic anatomical parameters can be achieved with all cage groups, the PEKEKK cage can be considered as a safe alternative for reducing subsidence.

OBJECTIVE: S2 alar-iliac (S2AI) screw had been widely used in the pelvic fusion for degenerative lumbar scoliosis (DLS) patients. However, whether S2AI screw trajectory was influenced by sagittal profile in DLS patients had not been comprehensively investigated. The objective of this study was to evaluate the associations between the optimal S2 alar-iliac (S2AI) screw trajectory and sagittal spinopelvic parameters in DLS patients. METHODS: Computed tomography (CT) scans of pelvis were performed in 47 DLS patients for three-dimensional reconstruction of S2AI screw trajectory from September 2019 to November 2021. Five S2AI screw trajectory parameters were measured in CT reconstruction images, including: 1) angle in the transverse plane (Tsv angle); 2) angle in the sagittal plane (Sag angle); 3) maximal screw length; 4) screw width; and 5) skin distance. The lumbar Cobb angle, lumbar apical vertebral translation (AVT); global kyphosis (GK); thoracic kyphosis (TK); lumbar lordosis (LL); sagittal vertical axis (SVA); sacral slope (SS); pelvic tilt (PT); and pelvic incidence (PI) were measured in standing X-ray films of the whole spine and pelvis. RESULTS: Both Tsv angle and Sag angle had significant positive associations with SS (p < 0.05) but negative associations with both PT (p < 0.05) and LL (p < 0.05) in all cases. Patients with SS less than 15° had both smaller Tsv angle and Sag angle than those with SS equal to or more than 15° (p < 0.05). The decreased LL would lead to the backward rotation of the pelvis, resulting in a more cephalic and less divergent trajectory of S2AI screw in DLS patients. CONCLUSIONS: For DLS patients with lumbar kyphosis, spine surgeons should avoid both excessive Tsv and Sag angles for S2AI screw insertion, especially when using free-hand technique.

BACKGROUND: Glenoid reconstruction with a bone block for anterior glenoid bone loss (GBL) has shown excellent outcomes. However, fixation techniques that require metal implants are associated with metal-related complications and bone graft resorption. HYPOTHESIS: Arthroscopic glenoid reconstruction using a tricortical iliac crest bone graft (ICBG) and metal-free suture tape cerclage fixation can safely and effectively restore the glenoid surface area in patients with recurrent anterior shoulder instability and anterior GBL. STUDY DESIGN: Case series; Level of evidence, 4. METHODS: Adult patients (≥18 years) of both sexes with recurrent anterior shoulder instability and anterior GBL ≥15% were enrolled. These patients underwent arthroscopic glenoid reconstruction with ICBGs and metal-free suture tape cerclage fixation. The effectiveness and clinical outcomes with this technique were evaluated at 24 months using functional scores. Resorption of the graft articular surface was assessed by computed tomography, with the graft surface divided into 6 square areas aligned in 2 columns. Descriptive analysis was conducted. RESULTS: A total of 23 consecutive patients met inclusion criteria (22 male, 1 female; mean age, 30.5 ± 7.9 years). The mean preoperative GBL was 19.7% ± 3.4%, and there were 15 allograft and 8 autograft ICBGs. All patients exhibited graft union at 3 months. The median follow-up was 38.5 months (interquartile range, 24-45 months). The Western Ontario Shoulder Instability Index, Rowe, Constant-Murley, and Subjective Shoulder Value scores improved from preoperatively (35.1%, 24.8, 83.1, and 30.9, respectively) to postoperatively (84.7%, 91.1, 96.0, and 90.9, respectively) (P < .001). No differences in clinical scores were observed between the graft types. One surgical wound infection was reported, and 2 patients (8.7% [95% CI, 2.4%-26.8%]) required a reoperation. The mean overall glenoid surface area increased from 80.3% ± 3.5% to 117.0% ± 8.3% immediately after surgery before subsequently reducing to 98.7% ± 6.2% and 95.0% ± 5.7% at 12 and 24 months, respectively (P < .001). The mean graft resorption rate was 18.1% ± 7.9% in the inner column and 80.3% ± 22.4% in the outer column. Additionally, 3 patients treated with an allograft (20.0% [95% CI, 7.1%-45.2%]), including the 2 with clinical failures, exhibited complete graft resorption at the last follow-up. CONCLUSION: Arthroscopic glenoid reconstruction using an ICBG and metal-free suture tape cerclage fixation was safe and effective, yielding excellent clinical outcomes. Resorption of the graft articular surface predominantly affected the nonloaded areas beyond the best-fit circle perimeter.

INTRODUCTION: When needed operative treatment of sacral fractures is mostly performed with percutaneous iliosacral screw fixation. The advantage of navigation in insertion of pedicle screws already could be shown by former investigations. The aim of this investigation was now to analyze which influence iliosacral screw placement guided by navigation has on duration of surgery, radiation exposure and accuracy of screw placement compared to the technique guided by fluoroscopy. METHODS: 68 Consecutive patients with sacral fractures who have been treated by iliosacral screws were inclouded. Overall, 85 screws have been implanted in these patients. Beside of demographic data the duration of surgery, duration of radiation, dose of radiation and accuracy of screw placement were analyzed. RESULTS: When iliosacral screw placement was guided by navigation instead of fluoroscopy the dose of radiation per inserted screw (155.0 cGy*cm2 vs. 469.4 cGy*cm2 p < 0.0001) as well as the duration of radiation use (84.8 s vs. 147.5 s p < 0.0001) were significantly lower. The use of navigation lead to a significant reduction of duration of surgery (39.0 min vs. 60.1 min p < 0.01). The placement of the screws showed a significantly higher accuracy when performed by navigation (0 misplaced screws vs 6 misplaced screws-p < 0.0001). CONCLUSION: Based on these results minimal invasive iliosacral screw placement guided by navigation seems to be a safe procedure, which leads to a reduced exposure to radiation for the patient and the surgeon, a reduced duration of surgery as well as a higher accuracy of screw placement.

PURPOSE: To optimize the biomechanical performance of S2AI screw fixation using a genetic algorithm (GA) and patient-specific finite element analysis integrating bone mechanical properties. METHODS: Patient-specific pelvic finite element models (FEM), including one normal and one osteoporotic model, were created from bi-planar multi-energy X-rays (BMEXs). The genetic algorithm (GA) optimized screw parameters based on bone mass quality (BM method) while a comparative optimization method maximized the screw corridor radius (GEO method). Biomechanical performance was evaluated through simulations, comparing both methods using pullout and toggle tests. RESULTS: The optimal screw trajectory using the BM method was more lateral and caudal with insertion angles ranging from 49° to 66° (sagittal plane) and 29° to 35° (transverse plane). In comparison, the GEO method had ranges of 44° to 54° and 24° to 30° respectively. Pullout forces (PF) using the BM method ranged from 5 to 18.4 kN, which were 2.4 times higher than the GEO method (2.1-7.7 kN). Toggle loading generated failure forces between 0.8 and 10.1 kN (BM method) and 0.9-2.9 kN (GEO method). The bone mass surrounding the screw representing the fitness score and PF of the osteoporotic case were correlated (R2 > 0.8). CONCLUSION: Our study proposed a patient-specific FEM to optimize the S2AI screw size and trajectory using a robust BM approach with GA. This approach considers surgical constraints and consistently improves fixation performance.

STUDY DESIGN: A prospective study. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate the PI change in different postures and before and after S2alariliac (S2AI) screw fixation, and to investigate whether pre-op supine PI could predict post-op standing PI. Previous studies have reported PI may change with various positions. Some authors postulated that the unexpected PI change in ASD patients could be due to sacroiliac joint laxity, S2-alar-iliac (S2AI) screw placement, or aggressive sagittal cantilever technique. However, there was a lack of investigation on how to predict post-op standing PI when making surgical strategy. METHODS: A prospective case series of ASD patients undergoing surgical correction with S2AI screw placement was conducted. Full-spine X-ray films were obtained at pre-op standing, pre-op supine, pre-op prone, as well as post-op standing postures. Pelvic parameters were measured. Spearman correlation analysis was used to determine relationships between each parameter. RESULTS: A total of 83 patients (22 males, 61females) with a mean age of 58.4 ± 9.5 years were included in this study. Pre-op standing PI was significantly lower than post-op standing PI (p = 0.004). Pre-op prone PI was significantly lower than post-op standing PI (p = 0.001). By contrast, no significant difference was observed between pre-op supine and post-op standing PI (p = 0.359) with a mean absolute difference of 2.2° ± 1.9°. Correlation analysis showed supine PI was significantly correlated with post-op standing PI (r = 0.951, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: This study revealed the PI changed after S2AI screw fixation. The pre-op supine PI can predict post-op standing PI precisely, which facilitates to provide correction surgery strategy with a good reference for ideal sagittal alignment postoperatively.

Pelvic fixation is commonly used in correcting pelvic obliquity in pediatric patients with neuromuscular scoliosis and in preserving stability in adult patients with lumbosacral spondylolisthesis or instances of traumatic or osteoporotic fracture. S2-alar-iliac screws are commonly used in this role and have been proposed to reduce implant prominence when compared to traditional pelvic fusion utilizing iliac screws. The aim of this technical note is to describe a technique for robotically navigated placement of S2-alar-iliac screws in pediatric patients with neuromuscular scoliosis, which (a) minimizes the significant exposure needed to identify a bony start point, (b) aids in instrumenting the irregular anatomy often found in patients with neuromuscular scoliosis, and (c) allows for greater precision than traditional open or fluoroscopic techniques. We present five cases that underwent posterior spinal fusion to the pelvis with this technique that demonstrate the safety and efficacy of this procedure.

PURPOSE: Spinopelvic fixation (SPF) using traditional iliac screws has provided biomechanical advantages compared to previous constructs, but common complications include screw prominence and wound complications. The newer S2 alar-iliac (S2AI) screw may provide a lower profile option with lower rates of complications and revisions for adult spinal deformity (ASD). The purpose of this study was to compare rates of complications and revision following SPF between S2AI and traditional iliac screws in patients with ASD. METHODS: A PRISMA-compliant systematic literature review was conducted using Cochrane, Embase, and PubMed. Included studies reported primary data on adult patients undergoing S2AI screw fixation or traditional IS fixation for ASD. Primary outcomes of interest were rates of revision and complications, which included screw failure (fracture and loosening), symptomatic screw prominence, wound complications (dehiscence and infection), and L5-S1 pseudarthrosis. RESULTS: Fifteen retrospective studies with a total of 1502 patients (iliac screws: 889 [59.2%]; S2AI screws: 613 [40.8%]) were included. Pooled analysis indicated that iliac screws had significantly higher odds of revision (17.1% vs 9.1%, OR = 2.45 [1.25-4.77]), symptomatic screw prominence (9.9% vs 2.2%, OR = 6.26 [2.75-14.27]), and wound complications (20.1% vs 4.4%, OR = 5.94 [1.55-22.79]). S2AI screws also led to a larger preoperative to postoperative decrease in pain (SMD = - 0.26, 95% CI = -0.50, - 0.011). CONCLUSION: The findings from this review demonstrate higher rates of revision, symptomatic screw prominence, and wound complications with traditional iliac screws.

OBJECTIVE: The cortical iliac crest autograft (CICA)/structural allograft (SA) has still been recognized as the gold standard for the ACDF technique for its high degree of histocompatibility and osteoinduction ability though the flourishing and evolving cage development. However, there was no further indication for using CICA/SA in ACDF based on basic information of inpatients. Our operative experience implied that applying CICA/SA has an advantage on faster fusion but not the long-term fusion rate. Therefore, our study aimed to compare the fusion rates between CICA and cage, between SA and cage, and between CICA/CA and cage. METHODS: Based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA), a comprehensive literature search of electronic databases including PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library and Web of Science was conducted to identify these clinical trials that investigated the postoperative 3, 6, 12 and 24 months fusion rates of CICA/structural SA versus cage. Assessment of risk of bias, data extraction and statistical analysis were then carried out by two independent authors with the resolve-by-consensus method. The primary outcome was fusion rate at 3, 6, 12 and 24 months postoperatively. The secondary outcomes were also meta-analyzed such as hardware complications, operative duration and hospitalization time. Our meta-analysis was registered with PROSPERO (Identifier: CRD42022345247). RESULT: A total of 3451 segments (2398 patients) derived from 34 studies were included after the screening of 3366 articles. The segmental fusion rates of CICA were higher than cages at 3 (P = 0.184, I2 = 40.9%) and 6 (P = 0.147, I2 = 38.8%) months postoperatively, but not 12 (P = 0.988, I2 = 0.0%) and 24 (P = 0.055, I2 = 65.6%) months postoperatively. And there was no significant difference in segmental fusion rates between SA and cage at none of 3 (P = 0.047, I2 = 62.2%), 6 (P = 0.179, I2 = 41.9%) and 12 (P = 0.049, I2 = 58.0%) months after operations. As for secondary outcomes, the CICA was inferior to cages in terms of hardware complications, operative time, blood loss, hospitalization time, interbody height, disk height and Odom rating. The hardware complication of using SA was significantly higher than the cage, but not the hospitalization time, disk height, NDI and Odom rating. CONCLUSION: Applying CICA has an advantage on faster fusion than using a cage but not the long-term fusion rate in ACDF. Future high-quality RCTs regarding the hardware complications between CICA and cage in younger patients are warranted for the deduced indication.

PURPOSE: Reconstruction with vascularized bone grafts after ablative surgery and subsequent dental rehabilitation with implants is often challenging; however, it helps improve the patient's quality of life. This retrospective case-control study aimed to determine the implant survival/success rates in different vascularized bone grafts and potential risk factors. METHODS: Only patients who received implants in free vascularized bone grafts between 2012 and 2020 were included. The free flap donor sites were the fibula, iliac crest, and scapula. The prosthetic restoration had to be completed, and the observation period had to be over one year after implantation. Implant success was defined according to the Health Scale for Dental Implants criteria. RESULTS: Sixty-two patients with 227 implants were included. The implant survival rate was 86.3% after an average of 48.7 months. The causes of implant loss were peri-implantitis (n = 24), insufficient osseointegration (n = 1), removal due to tumor recurrence (n = 1), and osteoradionecrosis (n = 5). Of all implants, 52.4% were classified as successful, 19.8% as compromised, and 27.8% as failed. Removal of osteosynthesis material prior to or concurrent with implant placement resulted in significantly better implant success than material not removed (p = 0.035). Localization of the graft in the mandibular region was associated with a significantly better implant survival (p = 0.034) and success (p = 0.002), also a higher Karnofsky Performance Status Scale score with better implant survival (p = 0.014). CONCLUSION: Implants placed in vascularized grafts showed acceptable survival rates despite the potential risk factors often present in these patient groups. However, peri-implantitis remains a challenge.

INTRODUCTION: Spinopelvic dissociation (SPD) is a severe injury characterized by a discontinuity between the spine and the bony pelvis consisting of a bilateral longitudinal sacral fracture, most of the times through sacral neuroforamen, and a horizontal fracture, usually through the S1 or S2 body. The introduction of the concept of triangular osteosynthesis has shown to be an advance in the stability of spinopelvic fixation (SPF). However, a controversy exists as to whether the spinal fixation should reach up to L4 and, if so, it should be combined with transiliac-transsacral screws (TTS). OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study is to compare the biomechanical behavior in the laboratory of four different osteosynthesis constructs for SPD, including spinopelvic fixation of L5 versus L4 and L5; along with or without TTS in both cases. MATERIAL AND METHODS: By means of a formerly described method by the authors, an unstable standardized H-type sacral fracture in twenty synthetic replicas of a male pelvis articulated to the lumbar spine, L1 to sacrum, (Model: 1300, SawbonesTM; Pacific Research Laboratories, Vashon, WA, USA), instrumented with four different techniques, were mechanically tested. We made 4 different constructs in 5 specimen samples for each construct. Groups: Group 1. Instrumentation of the L5-Iliac bones with TTS. Group 2. Instrumentation of the L4-L5-Iliac bones with TTS. Group 3. Instrumentation of L5-Iliac bones without TTS. Group 4: Instrumentation of L4-L5-Iliac bones without TTS. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: According to our results, it can be concluded that in SPD, better stability is obtained when proximal fixation is only up to L5, without including L4 (alternative hypothesis), the addition of transiliac-transsacral fixations is essential.
