Abstract:

       Fractures through the sacroiliac joint are very challenging to treat, technically difficult to reduce through closed methods on account of the multiaxial displacement of fractures fragments, frequently occur in very unwell patients, and have poor outcomes if malreduction is present. We describe a technique utilising the lateral window and a short buttress plate to reduce and stabilize the fragments prior to percutaneous fixation with sacroiliac screws.

Percutaneous Screw Fixation of Crescent Fracture-Dislocation of the Sacroiliac Joint.

Crescent fracture-dislocation of the sacroiliac joint (CFDSIJ) is a type of lateral compression pelvic injury associated with instability. Open reduction and internal fixation is a traditional treatment of CFDSIJ. However, a minimally invasive method has never been reported. The purpose of this study was to assess the outcome of closed reduction and percutaneous fixation for different types of ...

Spinopelvic Fixation of Sacroiliac Joint Fractures and Fracture-Dislocations: A Clinical 8 Years Follow-Up Study

  Background: Pelvic ring injuries and sacroiliac dislocations have significant impacts on patient’s quality of life. Several techniques have been described for posterior pelvic fixation. The current study has been designed to evaluate the spinopelvic method of fixation for sacroiliac fractures and fracture-dislocations.   Methods: Between January 2006 and December 2014, 14 patients with sacroi...

Lumbosacral fixation using sacroiliac buttress screws: a modification to the Jackson technique with intrasacral rods

BACKGROUND The use of intrasacral rods has been previously reported for posterior lumbosacral fixation. However, problems associated with this technique include poor stability of the rod in the sacrum, difficulty in contouring the rod to fit the lateral sacral mass, and the complicated assembly procedure for the rod and pedicle screws in the thoracolumbar segments after insertion of the rod int...

Percutaneous K-wire buttress technique for displaced radial neck fracture.

Radial neck fractures are uncommon injuries in adults and more often found in children, where they account for 5-8.5% of elbow injuries. It is generally agreed that an angulation of less than 30 degrees is acceptable. However, anything greater than this should be improved in an attempt to restore normal anatomy and maximize the range of movement. We describe our management of a radial neck frac...
