Objectives: To determine the optimal starting points for placement of S1 and S2 iliosacral screws as well as the pertinent anatomy surrounding the S1 and S2 vertebral bodies.
Design: Normal subject study evaluating helical CT scans of thirty normal posterior pelvic rings.
Setting: Methodist Hospital, Indianapolis, Indiana, Level I trauma center.
Participants: Consenting adults for limited pelvis CT.
Main Outcome Measurements: The three-dimensional anatomy of the posterior pelvic ring pertinent to S1 and S2 iliosacral screw placement. Safety of simulated S1 iliosacral screw placement using different lateral ilium starting points.
Results: The transversely placed (horizontal) iliosacral screw was the least safe of the screws tested. The safest lateral ilium starting point for our entire population was at the posterior sacral body sagittally and at the inferior S1 foramen coronally. S2 iliosacral screws had less cross-sectional area for placement than S1 screws. Placement of the S2 screw slightly to the S1 foraminal side of the S2 vertebral body increased the safety of placement.
Conclusion: The iliosacral screw starting point at the posterior sacral body and inferior S1 foramen was the safest when considering the entire population. Careful attention to the size and orientation of the S2 vertebral body should be taken if S2 iliosacral screws are placed.

Objective: Type IV fragility fractures of pelvis (FFP IV) are serious and complicated and the treatment is challengeable. Robotic-assisted minimally invasive triangular fixation (RoboTFX) is a new and advanced technique to treat this injury. The objective of this report is to evaluate the clinical outcomes of FFP IV treated with RoboTFX.

Article Synopsis
- Fragility pelvic fractures are becoming more common due to increased life expectancy, often requiring surgery with ilio-sacral screws for stabilization.* -
- This review discusses a novel, low-cost cement augmentation technique for ilio-sacral screws, designed for patients with poor bone quality and includes case examples from five patients treated between 2017 and 2024.* -
- The new surgical method is straightforward and uses readily available instruments, but further research is needed to prove its efficacy compared to traditional techniques without cement augmentation.*

Objective: Considering the high incidence and complexity of unstable posterior pelvic ring fractures, and the need for less invasive and more effective treatment options, this study aims to introduce a novel minimally invasive, safe, and simple internal fixation method for the treatment of unstable posterior pelvic ring fractures using the sacroiliac joint locking plate (SJP) system, and to provide biomechanical validation and clinical evaluation of this method.
Methods: Biomechanical research was conducted using standard pelvic bone models from Synbone, Switzerland, to create Denis II zone unstable posterior pelvic ring fracture models, and to assess the stability of the SJP under different loads compared with traditional fixation methods. A retrospective clinical study analyzed the clinical efficacy of SJP treatment in 62 patients (mean age of 51.

Purpose: Posterior pelvic ring lesions are a common finding in patients with pelvic trauma, representing a challenging condition for trauma surgeons. Surgical options are different and there is not yet evidence about the best option. Aim of the study are: (i) to compare Lumbopelvic fixation (LPF) and ilio-sacral screw fixation (ISS) regarding clinical and radiological outcome in unstable posterior pelvic ring injuries, both as whole population and single similar fracture types according to Tile classification (C1vsC1, C2vsC2, C3vsC3); (ii) to analyze clinical outcomes and complications in lumbopelvic fixation group, comparing open and closed reduction technique.

Operative treatment of fragility fractures of the pelvis has become a gold standard. Preoperative planning, including the assessment of the pathway for iliosacral screws, is crucial. The anchorage of the screw depends on the bone quality.
