Computer Assisted Surgery for Iliosacral Screw Placement-How Far have we gone?

چکیده
Unstable pelvic ring injuries require definite operative fixation. While the posterior ring can be fixed utilizing open approaches, percutaneous screw fixation has become the treatment of choice avoiding the complications of open approaches. As the pelvis is a complex three-dimensional (3D) shape with many neurovascular structures situated within it, a thorough knowledge and understanding of the anatomy and radiographic imaging is required to accomplish the task of percutaneous iliosacral screw placement, while avoiding potential complications. Recent advances in computer assisted surgery (CAS) has provided some powerful tools in overcoming the obstacles associated with this procedure. This review examines the evolution of image guided surgery used for iliosacral screw placement, the current available options, and future perspectives.

Intracanal Sacral Nerve Impingement Following Percutaneous Iliosacral Screw Pelvic Fixation
Percutaneous iliosacral screws are useful in treating vertical posterior pelvic fractures and iliosacral disruptions. Iliosacral screws are far less invasive than spinopelvic fixation, and result in much lower morbidity. However, safe placement of the iliosacral screws is technically difficult and highly dependent on fracture reduction and adequate fluoroscopy. Inaccurate placement can result i...
متن کاملIliosacral screw fixation of the posterior pelvic ring using local anaesthesia and computerised tomography.
Various techniques have been used for the fixation of the posterior pelvis, each with disadvantages specific to the technique. In this study, a new protocol involving the placement of posterior pelvic screws in the CT suite is described and evaluated. A total of 66 patients with unstable pelvic ring injuries was stabilised under local anaesthesia with sedation. The mean length of time for the p...

BACKGROUND Accurate insertion of pedicle screws in scoliosis patients is a challenge for surgeons. Computer-assisted navigation techniques might help improve the accuracy of screw placement, thereby avoiding complications. Thus, the objective of this present work is to compare the accuracy and postoperative assessment of pedicle screw placement in scoliosis patients using a computer-assisted na...
متن کاملPercutaneous iliosacral screw placement using a radiolucent drive.
Percutaneous iliosacral screw placement is a standard stabilisation technique for pelvic fractures. It is a demanding operative technique. Various methods of guidance are currently available. We present a quick and simple fluoroscopy-guided technique using a radiolucent drive designed for distal locking of intramedullary nails. From January 2008 to December 2009, 27 screws were inserted using t...
