In BriefIn this in vitro investigation, we compared the multidirectional flexibility properties of sacral alar iliac fixation with conventional methods of sacral and sacroiliac fixation using nondestructive and destructive investigative methods. The study demonstrated that S1-2 sacral fixation alone significantly increases sacroiliac motion under all loading modalities, while sacral alar iliac fixation reduced motion in axial rotation at the sacroiliac joint and offers potential advantages of a lower instrumentation profile and ease of assembly compared to conventional sacroiliac screw instrumentation.

Objective: There are many advantages to stabilize the posterior pelvic ring injuries with a transiliac-transsacral (TITS) screw percutaneously. To identify the correct entry point and insert a guidewire accurately for a TITS screw, we propose a method of specifying the optimal entry point, and introduce a technique of enabling freehand placement of a guidewire with fluoroscopic guidance.
Methods: In this retrospective study, 116 patients who underwent pelvic CT scans and pelvic lateral radiographs at our institution from January 2020 to April 2022 were enrolled.

Purpose: This study sought to compare screw placement accuracy and outcomes between freehand (FH) and AR-guided pelvic fixation. While pelvic fixation is a critical technique in spinal deformity surgery, S2-alar iliac (S2AI) screw placement poses challenges.
Methods: We conducted a case-control study of 50 consecutive patients who underwent spinopelvic fixation at a single institution.

To explore the feasibility of using the entry point and screw path parameters of sacroiliac (SAI) screws inserted under O-arm 3D computer navigation as a reference for freehand screw insertion in patients with degenerative spinal deformities. A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 66 patients with degenerative spinal deformities who received SAI screw fixation assisted by the O-arm 3D computer navigation system at Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital Affiliated with Nanjing University Medical School from January 2017 to April 2022. The patients included 6 males and 60 females, with a mean age of (64.

Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the sacral alar-iliac screw (SAIS) fixation techniques, comparing S1AIS and S2AIS for effectiveness in sacroiliac joint fixation.
- Both screw types were examined for safety and biomechanical stability through CT analysis and testing on 3D printed pelvis models.
- Results indicate that while both techniques are comparable, S1AIS shows better implant range and lower breach rates compared to S2AIS.
