Image-guided percutaneous internal fixation of sacral fracture

Merritt D Kinon et al. J Clin Neurosci. 2016 Jan.

Abstract

Percutaneous iliosacral screw placement is a technically challenging procedure with a significant complication profile for misplaced screws. The use of stereotactic image guidance has been shown to provide superior accuracy in the placement of spinal instrumentation. Here, the authors describe a novel application of O-arm technology (Medtronic Sofamor Danek, Memphis, TN, USA) to help safely place iliosacral screws for the treatment of a traumatic sacral fracture.

Keywords: CT guided navigation; Iliosacral instrumentation; Sacral fracture; Spinal fusion; Spine trauma; Trauma.
