AI Article Synopsis
- The study explores using two fluoroscopes for sacroiliac joint dislocation treatment, comparing its effects with a single fluoroscope.
- It found that using two fluoroscopes significantly reduced the frequency of radiation exposure and operation time but did not change the radiation dose or the quality of dislocation reduction.
- Overall, the simultaneous use of two fluoroscopes proves to be a beneficial approach with minimal complications, ensuring efficient and safer surgeries.
Article Abstract
Background: Percutaneous sacroiliac screw fixation is the standard treatment for sacroiliac joint (SIJ) dislocation. In most hospitals, the procedure is guided by a C-arm X-ray fluoroscopy system, which must be repeatedly repositioned during surgery. In this study, we investigated the feasibility of using 2 fluoroscopes simultaneously.
Methods: A total of 28 consecutive patients with SIJ dislocation were included in this study. The patients were randomly allocated to groups and underwent percutaneous sacroiliac screw fixation using either 1 or 2 fluoroscopes. Total radiation exposure frequency, radiation dose, and operation time were recorded and compared. Dislocation reduction quality was assessed using the Tornetta and Matta standard, and the Majeed functional score was used to evaluate clinical, imaging, and social function following pelvic injury. Complications were also recorded.
Results: The results showed that the radiation exposure frequency was significantly less with 2 fluoroscopes than with a single fluoroscope (21.5±8.6 and 42.6±18.3 times, respectively; P<0.001). However, the radiation dose (156.3±67.2 mGy for 1 fluoroscope and 157.8±38.2 mGy for 2 fluoroscopes; P>0.05) between the 2 groups was not significantly different. The total operation time was also significantly shorter with 2 fluoroscopic devices than with a single device (35.8±12.9 and 65.5±19.7 minutes, respectively; P<0.001). The dislocation reduction quality and Majeed functional score (92.3% and 86.7% for 1 fluoroscope, 93.3% and 84.6% for 2 fluoroscopes, respectively; P>0.05) did not differ significantly between the 2 groups at the final follow-up. Complications, such as pain, superficial infection, restricted squatting, limp, and screw failure, were rarely recorded in either group.
Conclusions: The simultaneous application of 2 fluoroscopes is highly appropriate during percutaneous sacroiliac screw fixation to treat SIJ dislocation, and can significantly reduce radiation exposure frequency and operation time.

Introduction: Aneurysmal bone cysts (ABCs) are benign, locally destructive, blood-filled reactive lesions of the bone most commonly presenting as pain or mass effect. Most are frequently located in the proximal humerus, distal femur, proximal tibia, spine, uncommonly the sacrum, and rarely the sacroiliac (SI) joint. We present a rare case of ABC in the SI joint and its recurrence treated with percutaneous intralesional doxycycline ablation and the corresponding outcome.

Article Synopsis
- Percutaneous screw fixation is a common treatment for posterior pelvic ring injuries, with transiliac-transsacral screws showing better biomechanical strength than bilateral sacroiliac screws, especially for less displaced bilateral sacral fractures.
- An anatomical study on human cadaveric pelves identified a safe zone for screw placement in relation to the S1 region, categorizing most pelves as suitable for this technique while highlighting some as high-risk.
- The research suggests using lateral fluoroscopic images to accurately identify safe entry points for screw placement at the S1 level, emphasizing the need for more studies with CT imaging to further validate these results.

Hip pain in children and adolescents poses a diagnostic challenge due to various underlying causes, ranging from benign to severe conditions. Presented here is the case of an otherwise healthy 14-year-old boy who arrived at the emergency department with a two-day history of left hip pain, limping, fever, anorexia, and vomiting. Upon physical examination, tenderness was noted upon palpation of the left sacroiliac joint and with mobilization of the left lower limb.
