Sacropelvic Fixation: When, Why, How?

Joseph M Lombardi et al. Neurosurg Clin N Am. 2018 Jul.

Abstract

The indications for sacropelvic fixation continue to evolve with emerging instrumentation technologies and advancing techniques. Common indications include long construct fusions, high-grade spondylolisthesis, sacral fractures, sacral tumors, and global sagittal and/or coronal imbalance among others. The authors' preferred technique is through use of a freehand S2-alar-iliac screw placement.

Keywords: Deformity; Fixation; Pelvic; S2AI; Sacropelvic.
