Iliosacral Screw Fixation

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

Iliosacral screw fixation of either a disrupted SI joint or of unstable sacral fractures is frequently performed. The anatomical and radiological surgical anatomy is described, including the osseous pathways. Biomechanical data are available which guide the surgeon. A step-by-step technique of SI joint and sacral fixation strategies is presented. Additionally, results of CT-guided, navigation-guided, and conventional fluoroscopy-guided fixation results and complications are reported.
