چکیده

Unstable pelvic fractures are usually associated with high impact energy trauma. As to surgical procedures the most frequently used methods are open reduction and inner fixation (ORIF), the other methods of stabilizing the unstable posterior pelvic ring are percutaneous iliosacral screw fixation under fluoroscopic control and CT-guided percutaneous fixation. The last mentioned procedure eliminates some of the problems associated with surgical treatment: prevents excessive blood loss during manipulation of the fracture hematom, lowers the possibility of infection, allows more accurate screw placement with direct measuring of the screw length and decreases the possibility of nerve injury. The CT-guided fixation is a delicate procedure and its result depends among others on the cooperation between operating room and CT room personnel. The radiologist and CT technologist have to know the operation technique and have to understand surgeon's requirements. In the available literature only a little was written and mentioned about the exact role of radiologist and CT technologist in the team. The aim of this article is to present the operation technique according to authors' own experience with two operated patients and to mention the surgeon's requirements on CT team.

Treatment of Displaced Sacroiliac Fracture Using the Lateral Window for Short Plate Buttress Reduction and Percutaneous Sacroiliac Screw Fixation.

       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 th...

Parallel analysis of finite element model controlled trial and retrospective case control study on percutaneous internal fixation for vertical sacral fractures

BACKGROUND Although percutaneous posterior-ring tension-band metallic plate and percutaneous iliosacral screws are used to fix unstable posterior pelvic ring fractures, the biomechanical stability and compatibility of both internal fixation techniques for the treatment of Denis I, II and III type vertical sacral fractures remain unclear. METHODS Using CT and MR images of the second generation...

Sacral Fracture Nonunion Treated by Bone Grafting through a Posterior Approach

Nonunion of a sacral fracture is a rare but serious clinical condition which can cause severe chronic pain, discomfort while sitting, and significant restriction of the level of activities. Fracture nonunions reportedly occur most often after nonoperative initial treatment or inappropriate operative treatment. We report a case of fracture nonunion of the sacrum and pubic rami that resulted from...

Percutaneous iliosacral screw fixation in vertically unstable pelvic injuries, a refined conventional method.

Percutaneous ilio-sacral screw fixation is a well-established method for fixation of unstable posterior pelvic lesions. Due to unavailability of the navigation system in our institute and the limits of using CT-guided method, we tried to refine the conventional method. Between March 2011 and Nov. 2012, twenty patients with closed vertical pelvic injuries were admitted. They were 17 males and th...
