Sacropelvic is a complex junctional area owing to the complex regional anatomy and higher biomechanical stress. However extension of construct is indicated in cases with complex deformities, high grade spondylolisthesis, and complex fractures. The challenges remain which includes pseudoarthrosis and fixation failures. The fixation techniques have constantly evolved over time with better results with iliac screws and S2-alar-iliac screws. This article gives background on evolution, biomechanics, and recent update of use of robotics for sacropelvic fixation.
