RESUMO
PURPOSE: To evaluate the safety and benefits of the biplanar position technique on operative time, radiation exposure, and screw placement accuracy. METHODS: In this study, we retrospectively evaluated the records of 64 patients with pelvic fractures (Tile B and C) between October 2020 and September 2021. According to the surgical methods selected by the patients, the patients were divided into a biplanar positioning technique group (biplanar group), a Ti-robot navigation group (Ti-robot group), and a traditional fluoroscopy-guided technique group (traditional group). Length of operation, blood loss, intra-operative radiation exposure fracture reduction, and the quality of screw positioning were compared among the three groups. RESULTS: One hundred three screws were implanted in 64 patients (biplanar group 22, Ti-robot group 21, traditional group 21). The average operation time was significantly less in the biplanar group (26.32 ± 6.32 min) than in the traditional group (79.24 ± 11.31 min), but significantly more than in the Ti-robot group (15.81 ± 3.9 min). The radiation exposure was similar in the biplanar group (740.53 ± 185.91 cGy/cm2) and Ti-robot group (678.44 ± 127.16 cGy/cm2), both of which were significantly more than in the traditional group (2034.58 ± 494.54 cGy/cm2). The intra-operative blooding loss was similar in the biplanar group (12.76 ± 3.77 mL) and the Ti-robot group (11.92 ± 4.67 mL), both of which were significantly less than in the traditional group (29.7 ± 8.01 mL). The Screw perforation was slightly lower in the biplanar group (94.1%) than in the Ti-robot group (97.2%) but was significantly higher than in the traditional group (75.7%). CONCLUSIONS: The biplanar positioning technique is as accurate and safe as computer-navigated systems for percutaneous iliosacral screw insertion, associated with shorter surgical time, lower intra-operative radiation exposure, and more accuracy compared to traditional fluoroscopy.

INTRODUCTION: Complex orthopaedic procedures, such as iliosacral screw (ISS) fixations, can take advantage of surgical navigation technology to achieve accurate results. Although the impact of surgical navigation on outcomes has been studied, no studies to date have quantified how the design of the targeting display used for navigation affects ISS targeting performance. However, it is known in other contexts that how task information is displayed can have significant effects on both accuracy and time required to perform motor tasks, and that this can be different among users with different experience levels. This study aimed to investigate which visualization techniques helped experienced surgeons and inexperienced users most efficiently and accurately align a surgical tool to a target axis. METHODS: We recruited 21 participants and conducted a user study to investigate five proposed 2D visualizations (bullseye, rotated bullseye, target-fixed, tool-fixed in translation, and tool-fixed in translation and rotation) with varying representations of the ISS targets and tool, and one 3D visualization. We measured the targeting accuracy achieved by each participant, as well as the time required to perform the task using each of the visualizations. RESULTS: We found that all 2D visualizations had equivalent translational and rotational errors, with mean translational errors below 0.9 mm and rotational errors below 1.1[Formula: see text]. The 3D visualization had statistically greater mean translational and rotational errors (4.29 mm and 5.47[Formula: see text], p < 0.001) across all users. We also found that the 2D bullseye view allowed users to complete the simulated task most efficiently (mean 30.2 s; 95% CI 26.4-35.7 s), even when combined with other visualizations. CONCLUSIONS: Our results show that 2D bullseye views helped both experienced orthopaedic trauma surgeons and inexperienced users target iliosacral screws accurately and efficiently. These findings could inform the design of visualizations for use in a surgical navigation system for screw insertions for both training and surgical practice.

OBJECTIVES: The effect of three-dimensional (3D) printed bone-attached guide plate assisted cannulated screw fixation of pelvic fracture is reliable, but extensive soft tissue dissection is still required when installing the guide plate. This study aims to compare the efficacy of posterior pelvic ring fracture fixation with iliosacral screw insertion between the assistance of modified percutaneous patient specific 3D printed guide template and conventional fluoroscopy. METHODS: From May, 2019 and September 2021, 28 patients sustained posterior pelvic ring fractures were randomized into 2 groups: A guide template group, in which the iliosacral screw was inserted for fixation of the posterior pelvic ring fracture with the assistance of modified percutaneous patient specific 3D printed guide template, and a fluoroscopy group, in which the iliosacral screw was inserted under the guidance of conventional fluoroscopy. The operation time, fluoroscopic frequency, intraoperative blood loss, and incision length were recorded for each screw insertion. Fracture reduction was evaluated according to the Matta criteria. The screw position was evaluated according to the modified Gras classification, and the functional outcome was evaluated according to Majeed score. The parameters of both groups were compared, and statistical analysis was performed. RESULTS: All the 28 patients were followed up for 12-24 months. Of them, 15 iliosacral screws were inserted in 14 patients in the guide template group, and 14 iliosacral screws were inserted in 14 patients in the fluoroscopy group. The operation time, fluoroscopic frequency, screw deviation, incision length, and blood loss in the guide template group were 20-30(25.8±2.8) min, 9-15(12.2±1.9), 2-4(2.6±0.7) mm, 4-5(4.6±0.5) cm, and 5-10 (7.8±1.7) mL, respectively, whereas those in the fluoroscopy group were 30-60(48.1±7.5) min, 40-96(64.7±16.3), 3-6(4.2±0.9) mm, 0.8-1.2(1.0±0.1) cm, and 2-5(3.1±1.3) mL, respectively, and there were statistical significance (all P<0.001). Fracture reduction was evaluated according to the Matta criteria, and all the patients reached excellence and good (P=0.584) in the 2 groups. According to modified Gras classification, there were 12 Grade I screws, 3 Grade II screws, and 0 Grade III screws in the guide template group, and 10 Grade I screws, 3 Grade II screws, and 1 Grade III screw in the fluoroscopy group, with no statistical significance (P=0.334). The functional outcome was evaluated according to Majeed score at the last follow-up, without significant difference between the guide template group and the fluoroscopy group (P=0.908). CONCLUSIONS: Compared with the conventional fluoroscopy, it would cost less operation time, less fluoroscopic frequency and increase more accurate screw insertion to fixate the posterior pelvic ring fracture with the assistance of modified percutaneous patient specific 3D printed guide template.

PURPOSE: Rami comminution has been found to be predictive of lateral compression type 1 (LC1) injury instability on examination under anesthesia (EUA) and lateral stress radiographs (LSR). The purpose of this study was to evaluate how rami comminution and subsequent operative vs. nonoperative management impact the late displacement of these injuries. METHODS: Retrospective review of a prospectively collected LC1 database was performed to identify all patients with minimally displaced LC1 injuries (< 1 cm) and follow-up radiographs over a four-year period (n = 125). Groups were separated based on the presence of rami comminution and subsequent management, including rami comminution/operative (n = 49), rami comminution/nonoperative (n = 54), and no comminution/nonoperative (control group, n = 22). The primary outcome was late fracture displacement, analyzed as both a continuous variable and as late displacement ≥ 5 mm. RESULTS: As a continuous variable, late fracture displacement was lower in the comminuted rami/operative group as compared to the comminuted rami/nonoperative group (PD: -3.0 mm, CI: -4.8 to -1.6 mm, p = 0.0002) and statistically non-different from control. Late displacement ≥ 5 mm was significantly more prevalent in the comminuted rami/nonoperative group than in the comminuted rami/operative and no comminution/nonoperative groups (control)(PD: -33.9%, CI: -49.0% to -16.1%, p = 0.0002 and PD: -30.0%, CI: -48.2% to -6.5%, p = 0.02, respectively). CONCLUSION: Late fracture displacement was greatest in the group with rami comminution/nonoperative management. Rami comminution, which has been previously associated with dynamic displacement on EUA and LSR, is also associated with a higher incidence of late displacement when managed nonoperatively. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III, prognostic retrospective cohort study.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Percutaneous iliosacral (IS) screw fixation and trans-iliac trans-sacral (TITS) screw fixation are clinically effective treatments of posterior pelvic sacroiliac fractures. In order to accurately assess the sacrum position relative to the pelvis, pelvic incidence (PI) is a commonly utilized radiographic parameter in sagittal view. This study aimed to investigate and compare the surgical outcomes and radiographic parameters of IS or TITS screw fixations for the treatment of posterior sacroiliac complex fractures with different PI values. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The data on patients with posterior pelvic sacroiliac fractures who underwent percutaneous IS or TITS screw fixations, or both, at a single level I trauma center between January 2017 and June 2020 were reviewed. We documented the patient characteristics and fracture types, reviewed surgical records, and measured the radiographic parameters via plain films and multi-planar computed tomography (mpCT) images. Radiographic variations in PI, sacral slope, pelvic tilt, sacral dysmorphism, pelvic ring reduction quality, screw deviation angles, screw malposition grading, and iatrogenic complications were documented and analyzed. RESULTS: A total of 85 patients were included, and 65 IS and 70 TITS screws were accounted for. Patients were divided into two groups according to screw fixation method and further divided into four sub-groups based on baseline PI values. The PI cutoff values were 49.85° and 48.05° in the IS and TITS screw groups, respectively, according to receiver operating characteristic analysis and Youden's J statistic. Smaller PI values were significantly correlated with sacral dysmorphism (p = 0.027 and 0.003 in the IS and TITS screw groups, respectively). Patients with larger PI values were at a significantly increased risk of screw malposition in the TITS screw group (p = 0.049), with no association in the IS screw group. Logistic regression confirmed that a larger PI value was a significant risk factor for screw malposition in the TITS screw group (p = 0.010). The post-operative outcomes improved from poor/fair (at 6 months) to good/average (at 12 months) based on the Postel Merle d'Aubigné and Majeed scores, with no significant differences between subgroups. CONCLUSIONS: Both percutaneous IS and TITS screw fixations are safe and effective treatments for posterior pelvic sacroiliac fractures. Due to the higher risk of screw malposition in patients with larger PI values, it is crucial to identify potential patients at risk when performing TITS screw fixation surgery. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III.

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to compare the clinical outcomes and complications between two minimally invasive surgical techniques: percutaneous transiliac plate fixation and iliosacral (IS) screw fixation for the treatment of Tile C-type pelvic bone fractures. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the data of 77 consecutive patients with Tile C pelvic ring injuries who underwent either percutaneous transiliac plate fixation or IS screw fixation in a single academic center between November 2007 and January 2018. We recorded patients' demographics, surgery-related data, and postoperative surgical outcomes and compared the incidence of complications and revision surgery rates between the two groups. RESULTS: Overall, 14 patients were included in the plate group, while 63 were included in the IS screw fixation group. No significant differences were observed in the patients' demographics between the two groups except for a longer interval from injury to surgery (13.5 days vs. 5.4 days, P = 0.001). Both groups acquired fracture union in all cases. There was one case of infection requiring surgical debridement in the plating group. Notably, nerve injury (n = 3) and implant loosening (n = 5) occurred in the IS screw group, but the difference was not significant. CONCLUSIONS: Both percutaneous posterior transiliac plating and IS screw fixation in patients with Tile C-type pelvic bone fractures showed good results. We recommend IS screw fixation as the primary treatment and propose posterior plating as treatment for sacral dysmorphism and bilateral sacral alar fractures in patients with spinopelvic dissociation. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: III.

BACKGROUND: The commonly used technique for treating unstable pelvic fractures with sacroiliac screws and anterior internal fixator (INFIX) is prone to complications, such as injury to the pelvic vasculature and nerves, life-threatening bleeding, lateral femoral cutaneous neuritis, and wound infection. This study investigated the clinical effects of using a modified percutaneous iliosacral screw and INFIX technique for treating unstable pelvic fractures. METHODS: A retrospective analysis of minimally invasive internal fixation using modified incision of an anterior-ring INFIX application combined with modified percutaneous iliosacral screw placement was performed for 22 cases of unstable pelvic fractures from January 2017 to December 2018. Based on the Tile classification, there were 4 type B1, 7 type B2, 5 type B3 and 6 type C1 injuries. Preoperatively, the length and orientation of the internal fixation were computer-simulated and measured. On postoperative day 3, pelvic radiographs and three-dimensional computed tomograms were used to assess fracture reduction and fixation. All patients were regularly followed up at 4 weeks, 12 weeks, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months and annually thereafter. Fracture healing, complications, visual analogue scale (VAS) scores, the quality of fracture repositioning and Majeed score were assessed during follow-up. RESULTS: All patients were followed up for a mean of 25.23 ± 1.48 months. All fractures healed without loss of reduction and no patient showed evidence of delayed union or nonunion. Two years postoperatively, the mean VAS score was 0.32 ± 0.09 and the mean Majeed score was 94.32 ± 1.86. CONCLUSION: The modified percutaneous iliosacral screw technique increases the anterior tilt of the sacroiliac screw by shifting the entry point posteriorly to increase the safety of the screw placement. Downward modification of the INFIX incision reduces the risk of lateral femoral cutaneous nerve injury. This technique is safe, effective and well tolerated by patients.

INTRODUCTION: Surgical stabilization of posterior pelvic ring fractures can be achieved by closed reduction and percutaneous fixation (CRPF) or by open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF). The aim of the present study is to compare the clinical results of both methods. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Medical records of 36 patients consecutively operated for unstable pelvic ring injuries were retrospectively reviewed. We compared 22 patients treated with CRPF versus 14 patients stabilized by using ORIF between 2007 and 2017. The Majeed and Pohlemann scores were used to evaluate postoperative functional outcomes. Complications like blood loss, infection rate, Neurological injury, the operative time and the length of hospital stay were analyzed. RESULTS: The median Majeed pelvic score was 87 points for the CRPF technique compared with 69 points for the ORIF technique. The median Pohlemann score, operative time and length of hospitalization were similar between the two groups. The median blood loss for the CRPF technique was 300 ml compared to 500 ml for the ORIF technique. CRPF and ORIF procedure had each one neurological lesion. There was one case of infection in the ORIF group and none in the CRPF group. No measurements except for the blood loss have reached the significance threshold. CONCLUSION: The CRPF technique shows a clear decrease in blood loss. There was no statistically significant difference in the functional results, infection rate, neurological injury, operative time and hospital stay between both techniques.

BACKGROUND: The indications for sacroiliac screw (SI) removal have been under debate. Data on complication rates of SI screw removal is missing in the current literature. The objective of this study was to compare the rate of intra- and perioperative problems and complications during SI screw removal to those with SI screw fixation. METHODS: A retrospective observational study with two interventions in the same cohort was performed. Consecutive patients who underwent both sacroiliac screw fixation for an isolated fracture of the pelvic ring and removal of the same implants between November 2008 and September 2015 (n = 19; age 57.3, SD 16.1 years) were included. Intraoperative technical problems, postoperative complications, duration of surgery, and radiation dose were analysed. RESULTS: Intraoperative technical problems occurred in 1/19 patients (5%) during SI screw fixation and in 7/19 cases (37%) during SI screw removal (p = .021). Postoperative complications were seen in 3/19 patients after SI screw fixation and in 1/19 patients after SI screw removal (p = 0.128). The surgical time needed per screw was longer for screw removal than for implantation (p = .005). The amount of radiation used for the whole intervention (p = .845) and per screw (p = .845) did not differ among the two interventions. CONCLUSIONS: Intraoperative technical problems were more frequent with SI screw removal than with SI screw fixation. Most of the intraoperative technical problems in this study were implant-related. They resulted in more surgical time needed per screw removed but similar radiation time.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the feasibility of transverse iliosacral (TIS) screw placement in different segments of the sacrum and measure the parameters of the unilateral iliosacral (IS) screw in the case that cannot be inserted the TIS screw. METHODS: This study used 100 pelvic continuous computed tomography images. Mimics (Materialise Interactive Medical Image Control System) was used to reconstruct the three-dimensional pelvis model. All sacrums were divided into the normal group and dysmorphic group. Any difference in osseous fixation pathway (OFP) diameter in the first two segments between both groups was investigated. In dysmorphic sacrums, the optimal inserting angle and length of the unilateral S1 screw were measured. The number of foramen in every sacrum was recorded. RESULTS: Thirty-two sacrums had sacral dysmorphism. The OFP diameter for the S2 TIS screw in the dysmorphic group was larger than that in the normal group (p = 0.02). Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis indicated the cutoff values as 20.55 mm and 15.18° for the S1 front edge height and S1S2 angle, respectively. In the dysmorphic case, the unilateral S1 IS screw should be inserted with a cephalad incline angle of 36.14 ± 5.97° and a ventrally incline angle of 37.33 ± 4.64°. S3 TIS screw placement rate was 53.1% in the dysmorphic group. CONCLUSIONS: The most common cause of sacral dysmorphism is the fusion of the L5 to the true S1. In dysmorphic sacrums, the unilateral IS screw should be placed obliquely in the S1 segment, and the S2 segment usually has a sufficient OFP for the TIS screw. Using S3 TIS screw and two TIS screws in the first segment technique is not recommended because of a high risk.

INTRODUCTION: The use of trans-sacral implants to treat fractures of the sacrum is limited by the variable pelvic anatomy. We were interested in how many trans-sacral implants can be placed per pelvis? If a trans-sacral implant cannot be placed in S1, where is the cortex perforated, and is the use of sacroiliac screws safe in these pelves? MATERIALS AND METHODS: 3D pelvic models were created from CT scans of 156 individuals without fractures (92 European and 64 Japanese, 79 male and 77 female, mean age 66.7 ± 13.7 years). Trans-sacral implants with a diameter of 7.3 mm were positioned virtually with and without a surrounding safe zone of 12 mm diameter. RESULTS: Fifty-one percent of pelves accommodated trans-sacral implants in S1 with a safe zone. Twenty-two percent did not offer enough space in S1 for an implant even when ignoring the safe zone. Every pelvis had sufficient space for a trans-sacral implant in S2, in 78% including a safe zone as well. In S1, implant perforation was observed in the sacral ala and iliac fossa in 69%, isolated iliac fossa perforation in 23% and perforation of the sacral ala in 8%. Bilateral sacroiliac screw placement was always possible in S1. CONCLUSIONS: The use of trans-sacral implants in S1 requires meticulous preoperative planning to avoid injury of neurovascular structures. S2 more consistently offers space for trans-sacral implants.

INTRODUCTION: The purpose of the present study was to determine which factors affect the positional accuracy of iliosacral screws inserted using 3D fluoroscopic navigation. Specifically, we asked: (1) does the screw insertion angle in the coronal and axial planes affect the positional accuracy of iliosacral screw insertion using 3D fluoroscopic navigation? (2) Is the positional accuracy of iliosacral screw insertion using 3D fluoroscopic navigation affected by the type of screw (transsacral versus standard iliosacral), site of screw insertion (S1 versus S2), patient position (supine versus prone), presence of a dysmorphic sacrum, or AO/OTA classification (type B versus C)? MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twenty-seven patients with AO/OTA type B or C pelvic ring fracture were treated by percutaneous iliosacral screw fixation. A total of 55 screws were inserted into S1 or S2 using 3D fluoroscopic navigation combined with preoperative CT-based planning. The positional accuracy of screw placement was assessed by matching postoperative CT images with preoperative CT images. The distance between the central axis of the inserted screw and that of the planned screw placement was measured in the sagittal plane passing through the center of the vertebral body. RESULTS: The mean deviation between the planned and the inserted screw position was 2.9 ± 1.7 mm (range 0-8.5 mm) at the vertebral body center. Multiple regression analysis showed that the screw insertion angle relative to the vertical line of the bone surface in the axial plane (ß = 0.354, p = 0.013) and the use of a transsacral screw (ß = 0.317, p = 0.017) were correlated with the positional accuracy of screw placement (adjusted R2 = 0.276, p = 0.002). CONCLUSIONS: A greater screw insertion angle relative to the vertical line on the bone surface and the use of transsacral screws increases the positional error of iliosacral screws inserted using 3D fluoroscopic navigation. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IV, therapeutic study.

The purpose of this chapter is to review current evidence on indications, techniques, and outcomes of computer-navigated surgical treatment of pelvic ring injuries and acetabular fractures, particularly computer-navigated screw fixation.Iliosacral screw fixation of pelvic ring injury using navigation is attracting attention because the biomechanical stabilization of posterior pelvic ring disruption is of primary importance and is widely indicated because it does not require complete reduction of the fracture site. A cadaver study with a simulated zone II sacral fracture demonstrated a substantial compromise in the space available for iliosacral screws with displacements greater than 10 mm. It is possible to reduce the fracture fragment prior to intraoperative imaging in 2D or 3D fluoroscopic navigation. The use of 3D fluoroscopic navigation reportedly results in lower rates of iliosacral screw malpositioning than the use of the conventional technique or 2D fluoroscopic navigation. Moreover, compared with the conventional technique, it reduces radiation exposure and lowers revision rates. However, the malposition rate associated with 3D fluoroscopic navigation ranges from 0% to 31%, demonstrating that there is still room to improve the navigation performance.Conversely, complete articular surface reduction is required when treating a displaced acetabular fracture to prevent residual hip pain and subsequent osteoarthritic changes. Treating a severely displaced acetabular fracture by screw fixation is very challenging, even with the use of 3D fluoroscopic navigation, because of the difficulty in performing closed anatomical reduction. The indication for percutaneous screw fixation is limited to cases with a small articular displacement. Using 3D fluoroscopic navigation for open surgeries reportedly improves the quality of radiographic fracture reduction, limits the need for an extended approach, and lowers the complication rate.In conclusion, percutaneous screw fixation for pelvic ring injuries is widely indicated, and navigation makes these procedures safe and reliable. The indication for percutaneous screw fixation of acetabular fractures is limited to cases with a small articular displacement. Using 3D fluoroscopic navigation when performing open surgeries is reported to be useful in evaluating fracture reduction and screw position.

BACKGROUND: Iliosacral screw fixation is a popular method for the management of posterior pelvic ring fractures or dislocations, providing adequate biomechanical stability. Our aim in this study was to describe the use of a new patient-specific external template to guide the insertion of iliosacral screws and to evaluate the efficacy and safety of this technique compared with the conventional fluoroscopy-guided technique. METHODS: This was a retrospective study of patients with incomplete or complete posterior pelvic ring disruptions who required iliosacral screw fixation. For analysis, patients were divided into two groups: the external template group (37 screws in 22 patients) and the conventional group (28 screws in 18 patients). The operative time per screw, radiation exposure time and the rate of screw perforation (accuracy) were compared between groups. In the external template group, the difference between the actual and planned iliosacral screw position was also compared. RESULTS: In the conventional group, the average operative time per screw was 39.7 ± 10.6 min, with an average radiation exposure dose of 1904.0 ± 844.5 cGy/cm2, with 4 cases of screw perforation. In the external template group, the average operative time per screw was 17.9 ± 4.7 min, with an average radiation exposure dose of 742.8 ± 230.6 cGy/cm2 and 1 case of screw perforation. In the template group, the mean deviation distance between the actual and planned screw position was 2.75 ± 1.0 mm at the tip, 1.83 ± 0.67 mm in the nerve root tunnel zone and 1.52 ± 0.48 mm at the entry point, with a mean deviation angle of 1.73 ± 0.80°. CONCLUSIONS: The external template provides an accurate and safe navigation tool for percutaneous iliosacral screw insertion that could decrease the operative time and radiation exposure.

Fusionless surgery coupled with growing rod techniques is increasingly advocated for the treatment of early-onset scoliosis in general and neuromuscular scoliosis in particular. Iliosacral screws have excellent biomechanical characteristics but are hard to place safely. Here, the authors report on robot-assisted iliosacral screw positioning as part of growing rod surgery for the fusionless correction of early-onset scoliosis. The technique is based on a bilateral double sliding rod construct anchored to the pelvis proximally with 6 hooks or sublaminar bands and distally with iliosacral screws placed by the robot.

Objective: To evaluate the possibility of transverse sacroiliac screw placement in different segments of the sacrum. Methods: Data of 80 pelvic CT scans (slice thickness ≤1.0 mm) archived in CT department of the Third Hospital of Hebei Medical University from September 2016 to October 2017 were retrospectively collected. Mimics software was used to rebuild the pelvis three-dimensional model. According to whether the sacral 1(S(1)) segment could place the transverse sacroiliac screws or not, all the sacrums were divided into normal group (n=55) and dysmorphic group (n=25). Simulation the S(1), sacral 2(S(2)) transverse sacroiliac screw placement in 3-Matic software. Analysis whether there was any difference in maximum diameter and length of S(2) transverse sacroiliac screw between the normal group and the dysmorphic group. The pelvic CT data of the dysmorphic group were measured, and the optimal tilt angle and length of the oblique S(1) screw were obtained. The feasibility of transverse sacroiliac screw insertion in sacral 3(S(3)) segment was evaluated.t-test, rank sum test, and χ(2) test was used to analyze data, respectively. Results: In the dysmorphic group, the largest diameter of the S(1) transverse screw was (4.9±1.6)mm, and the normal group was (13.6±3.6)mm (t=-15.07, P=0.00). In the dysmorphic group, the largest diameter of S(2) transverse screw was (13.8±3.0)mm, and was (12.4±2.2)mm in the normal group(t=2.11, P=0.04). There was no significant difference in the length of S(2) transverse sacroiliac screw between the two groups (t=0.47, P=0.64). In the dysmorphic group, the anterior vertebral height of S(1) was (23.1±4.0)mm, which was significantly higher than that of the normal group ((14.1±4.2)mm)(t=9.01, P=0.00). The angle of S(1)S(2) in the dysmorphic group was 10.9°(3.8°, 17.6°), which was significantly larger than that of the normal group (2.0°(1.0°, 2.0°) (Z=-4.03, P=0.00). In the dysmorphic group, the incline angle of the oblique S(1) sacroiliac screw was (35.6±6.2)°, the anteversion angle was (37.2±4.4)°, and the mean screw length was (90.2±4.7)mm. In the dysmorphic group, the placement rate of S(3) transverse sacroiliac screw was 48.0%, and that of the normal sacral group was 9.1%. Conclusions: There is often dysmorphic in the sacrum in patients with large S(1) anterior vertebral height and S(1)S(2) angle. Sacral dysmorphic patients with posterior pelvic ring injury may be treated with S(1) pedicle oblique sacroiliac screws. S(3) transverse sacroiliac screws should be carefully placed, especially for the absence of sacral dysmorphic in patients.

PURPOSE: Traditional fluoroscopic techniques during percutaneous fixation of the posterior pelvic ring at times cannot adequately visualize errant or malpositioned iliosacral screws. Intra-operative fluoroscopic techniques have been advanced using multi-dimensional fluoroscopy to generate computed tomography-like images. This provides the surgeon not only the ability to assess iliosacral screw placement, but also the opportunity to assess reduction. We present a case series of four patients in which the Ziehm RFD multi-dimensional fluoroscopy was used to assess reduction and guidepin placement prior to definitive iliosacral screw fixation. METHODS: Four patients at our university level 1 trauma center with posterior pelvic ring disruptions were treated with percutaneous iliosacral screw fixation. Traditional fluoroscopic techniques were used during guidepin placement. Multi-dimensional fluoroscopy was performed using the Ziehm RFD 3D to assess guidepin placement and reduction prior to definitive iliosacral screw fixation. RESULTS: Our case series highlights two patients in which multi-dimensional fluoroscopy was utilized to ensure safe placement of iliosacral screws. In one of these two patients, a change was made after reviewing the imaging as a guidepin was found to be intruded into bilateral S2 neural tunnels. We also present two patient examples in which multidimensional fluoroscopy was used to assess reduction achieved by less invasive methods, precluding the need for direct visualization using more extensive open approaches. CONCLUSIONS: This retrospective case series demonstrates the direct impact that the Ziehm RFD 3D technology provides in surgical management of patients with complex posterior pelvic ring injuries.

PURPOSE: Widely used in traumatic pelvic ring fractures, the iliosacral (IS) screw technique for spino-pelvic fixation remains anecdotal in adult spinal deformity. The objective of this study was to assess anatomical variability of the adult upper sacrum and to provide a user guide of spino-pelvic fixation with IS screws in adult spinal deformity. METHODS: Anatomical variability of the upper sacrum according to age, gender, height and weight was sought on 30 consecutive pelvic CT-scans. Thus, a user guide of spino-pelvic fixation with IS screws was modeled and assessed on ten CT-scans as described below. Two invariable landmarks usable during the surgical procedure were defined: point A (corresponding to the connector binding the IS screw to the spinal rod), equidistant from the first posterior sacral hole and the base of the S1 articular facet and 10 mm-embedded into the sacrum; point B (corresponding to the tip of the IS screw) located at the junction of the anterior third and middle third of the sacral endplate in the sagittal plane and at the middle of the endplate in the coronal plane. Point C corresponded to the intersection between the A-B direction and the external facet of the iliac wing. Three-dimensional reconstructions modeling the IS screw optimal direction according to the A-B-C straight line were assessed. RESULTS: Age had no effect on the anatomy of the upper sacrum. The distance between the base of the S1 superior articular facet and the top of the first posterior sacral hole was correlated with weight (r = 0.6; 95% CI [0.6-0.9]); p < 0.001). Sacral end-plate thickness increased for male patients (p < 0.001) and was strongly correlated with height (r = 0.6; 95% CI [0.29-0.75]); p < 0.001) and weight (r = 0.8; 95% CI [0.6-0.9]); p < 0.001). The thickness of the inferior part of the S1 vertebral body increased in male patients (p < 0.001). Other measured parameters slightly varied according to gender, height and weight. Simulating the described technique of pelvic fixation, no misplaced IS screw was found whatever the age, gender and morphologic parameters. CONCLUSION: This user guide of spinopelvic fixation with IS screws seems to be reliable and reproducible independently of age, gender and morphologic characteristics but needs clinical assessment. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IV.

INTRODUCTION: Iliosacral screw fixation has been commonly used for stabilization of the posterior ring in unstable pelvic fractures. However, loosening of the screw may develop with or without redisplacement of the fracture. This study was undertaken to evaluate the incidence of iliosacral screw loosening and to identify its predictive factors. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In total, 110 patients whose posterior pelvic ring was stabilized with iliosacral screws were enrolled. These included 9 cases of anteroposterior compression, 64 cases of lateral compression, and 37 cases of vertical shear (VS) injuries. Among those with posterior pelvic ring injuries, 95 had sacral fractures (zone I: 52, zone II: 43) and 15 had sacroiliac joint dislocations. The screws were fixed to the anterior one-third region of the first sacral (S1) body in 46 cases, and to the middle one-third region in the remaining 64 cases. If loosening of the iliosacral screw influenced the pelvic ring stability, it was considered a failure. The relationship between iliosacral screw loosening and the possible influencing factors were analyzed. RESULTS: Nineteen patients (17.3 %) were found to have loosening of the iliosacral screw at a mean 25.3 days postoperatively. Of these, 13 patients (11.8 %) had failure of the screws. The incidence of iliosacral screw loosening was significantly higher in those with VS injury (29.7 %, p = 0.014), in those with screw fixed to the middle one-third region of the S1 body (23.4 %, p = 0.044), and in those with VS injury combined with zone II sacral fracture (43.5 %, p = 0.019). With respect to failure of the iliosacral screw, patients with VS injury also had a higher incidence of failure (21.6 %, p = 0.036). CONCLUSIONS: Our findings demonstrate that cases with VS injuries are prone to screw loosening, especially when combined with zone II sacral fracture. Accordingly, alternative fixation methods should be considered in such cases.

This prospective interventional study was planned to determine the clinical and radiological outcome of percutaneous iliosacral screw fixation for unstable pelvic ring injuries. It was conducted from March 2008 to June 2014 at the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery Combined Military Hospital (CMH) at Lahore, Multan, Rawalpindi and Muzaffarabad. It comprised 50 patients with unstable pelvic ring injuries. Visual analogue scale (VAS), Majeed pelvic score and Lindahl criteria were used for functional and radiological outcomes assessment. The mean age of the patients was 47.82±8.94 years. Moreover, 33(66%) participants were males and 17(34%) were females. The mean pre-operative Majeed and VAS scores were 38.98±6.28 and 9.04±0.67, respectively. Operating time and blood loss were reduced significantly. VAS score for post-operative pain was 3.82±1.26 at 1 month and decreased further to 2.68±1.30 at 12 months post-operatively (p<0.001). Radiological outcome and the post-operative Majeed scores were good to excellent in 43(86%) cases. Thus Percutaneous iliosacral screw fixation of unstable pelvic ring injuries resulted in excellent radiological and functional outcome with significantly decreased post-operative VAS score for SI joint pain.
