Abstract

The use of an image guided surgical (IGS) technique to assist in the placement of iliosacral lag screws has been demonstrated in a pig cadaver. A marker carrier plate was first attached to the pig's sacrum, and used to register a commercial IGS system. K-wires were inserted percutaneously through the ilium and into the sacrum using only the workstation. Postoperative CT confirmed wires were an average of 2.5 mm and 9.1 degrees from the intended position.
