Abstract
PURPOSE Fractures and dislocations of the pelvic ring are complex injuries that when treating require meticulous attention to detail and often specialized technical skill. These injuries can be the result of high-energy trauma, particularly in younger patients, or low energy trauma more often found in the elderly. Regardless of mechanism, these injuries lie on a spectrum of severity and can be treated conservatively or surgically. Percutaneous fixation under fluoroscopic guidance is the preferred standard technique when treating these fractures. This technique can be challenging for a variety of reasons including patient characteristics, intra-operative image quality, fracture morphology, among others. METHODS This retrospective study evaluated the use of intra-operative computed tomography (CT) using an O-arm imaging system for critical evaluation of fluoroscopic-guided screw placement in twenty-three patients. We retrospectively reviewed all cases of patients who were treated by three fellowship-trained orthopaedic traumatologists during a one-year span. Patients undergoing percutaneous pelvis fixation using both standard fluoroscopy and intraoperative CT with the Medtronic O-arm® (Minneapolis, MN) imaging system. Additionally, procedures performed included open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) of the pelvic ring, acetabulum, and associated extremity fractures. RESULTS Twenty-three patients were included in this study. On average, the use of intraoperative CT added 24.4 min in operative time. Five patients (21.7%) required implant adjustment after O-arm spin. Fourteen patients underwent additional post-operative CT. No secondary revision surgeries were attempted after any post-operative CT. CONCLUSIONS Our study suggests that intra-operative CT scan, compared to post-operative CT scan, can be utilized to prevent take-back surgery for misplaced implants and allow for adjustment in real-time.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Minimally invasive treatment has become the most popular and effective treatment for pelvic fractures. This study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a new technique, titanium elastic nailing (TEN), for the minimally invasive treatment of pelvic fractures. METHOD Twenty-four patients with pelvic fractures were referred to us between January 2020 to January 2022, including sixteen males and 8 females. Pelvic fractures were temporarily fixed by pelvic fixation belt accompanied by traction from the lower limb bone. Anterior pelvic ring injuries (superior ramus of pubis) and ilium fractures were treated with closed reduction and intramedullary fixation with minimally invasive TEN. Intraoperative C-arm, including pelvic anteroposterior, pelvic outlet, inlet and ilium oblique views, and O-arm fluoroscopy (intraoperative CT) were employed to assess fractures reduction and determine the location of the elastic titanium nail within the bone channel. RESULTS By adopting closed reduction and minimally invasive incision techniques, pelvic fractures could be safely fixed by placing an elastic titanium nail in the osseous medullary cavity channels of the pelvis. Postoperative investigation indicated that the wounds of all patients were healed in the first stage without any occurrence of complications, such as injuries to the nerves, blood vessels, and important tissue structures. Patients are essential quickly after the operation and could perform the functional exercise in the early stages of the recovery. CONCLUSION TEN can be used for minimally invasive treatment of pelvic fractures. This novel technique has no obvious complications and is worthwhile in clinical practice.

Abstract
CASE We present a case of robot-assisted placement of 3 trans-sacral transiliac screws through a single corridor for an unstable U-type sacral fracture in a 95-year-old woman. She had persistent pain and inability to mobilize with physical therapy. At 3-month follow-up, the patient had evidence of interval healing and stable hardware and was able to return to her prior functional baseline. CONCLUSION We demonstrate successful utilization of robotics to place 3 trans-sacral transiliac screws in a single corridor for fixation of an unstable pelvic ring injury. This technique was used to overcome challenges with visualization and implant placement.

Comparison of the operation safety and biomechanical stability of sacral alar-iliac vs. sacroiliac screws in the fixation of sacroiliac joint in simulated models of low bone density. Injury 2024; 55:111191. [PMID: 37972487 DOI: 10.1016/j.injury.2023.111191] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2023] [Revised: 10/12/2023] [Accepted: 11/07/2023] [Indexed: 11/19/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Sacral alar-iliac screws (SAISs) have been used for sacroiliac joint and are superiority to traditional sacroiliac screws (SISs) in patients with low bone density. The aim of this study was to investigate the operation safety and biomechanical stability of the SIS, transsacral-transiliac screw (TSTIS), S1AIS and S2AIS in the treatment of sacroiliac joint in simulated models of low bone density. METHODS CT data from 80 normal pelvic structures were employed to measure the anatomical parameters, including the safety zones of the S1AIS and S2AIS at the insertion point and the trajectory lengths of the SIS, TSTIS, S1AIS and S2AIS. Sixteen synthetic pelvises with simulated osteoporotic bone structure were used to simulate type C Tile lesions and divided into 4 groups with an anterior plate and posterior fixation using one of the following: 1) one SIS on each side, 2) one TSTIS fixing both sides, 3) one S1AIS on each side, or 4) one S2AIS on each side. The stiffness and maximum load of the specimens were analyzed using a biomechanical machine under vertical loading. RESULTS The safety zone of S1AIS was larger than that of S2AIS (p < 0.05). The TSTIS had the largest trajectory length, followed by the S1AIS and S2AIS, and the SIS had the smallest trajectory length (p < 0.05). However, the lengths of the TSTIS (26.1 ± 1.7 mm) and SIS (27.8 ± 1.8 mm) trajectories on the short side (the iliac side) were smaller than those of S1AIS (40.4 ± 3.8 mm) and S2AIS (39.1 ± 3.8 mm), thus indicating significant differences (p < 0.05). The stiffness and maximum load of S1AIS and S2AIS were similar and the greatest, followed by TSTIS and SIS (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION The stability of S1AIS and S2AIS is similar, both stronger than that of SIS and TSTIS, which have shorter lengths of the screw trajectories on the ilium side. However, the safety zone of S2AIS at the insertion point is smaller than that of S1AIS. Therefore, considering both safety and stability, S1AIS is the preferred choice for fixation of sacroiliac joint dislocation in simulated models of low bone density.

Retrospective evaluation of percutaneous 3D-navigated screw fixation for fragility fractures of the sacrum: technical notes and four-year experience. Sci Rep 2023; 13:12254. [PMID: 37507446 PMCID: PMC10382507 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-39165-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/12/2023] [Accepted: 07/20/2023] [Indexed: 07/30/2023] Open
Abstract
The incidence of fragility fractures of the sacrum is increasing due to demographic changes. In this study, we introduce the 3D-navigated monoportal percutaneous sacroiliac screw fixation (PSS) as a technical advancement for treating fragility fractures of the sacrum. We included all patients who underwent the 3D-navigated monoportal PSS for fragility fractures of the sacrum. The fractures were classified using the Fragility Fractures of the Pelvis score (FFP). We provide a step-by-step illustration of the surgical technique. The objective of this study was to assess the feasibility and safety of the investigated technique. Forty-six patients (36 female, 10 male) with a median age of 81.5 years were included in the study. The fracture classification revealed 23 FFP2 (50%), 5 FFP3 (11%), and 18 FFP4 (39%) fractures. In 35 cases (76%), only transsacral screws were implanted in S1 and S2, with an average incision-to-suture time of 52.6 min. The remaining eleven patients underwent additional anterior pelvic ring fixation, lumbar instrumentation, or kyphoplasty. There were no instances of nerve root, vascular, or pelvic organ injuries. The median postoperative in-hospital stay was six days. Out of the 36 patients who were followed up, four patients required revision surgery due to screw loosening. No significant risk factor for screw loosening was identified in the multiple regression analysis. The presented monoportal PSS technique for fragility fractures of the sacrum is a promising minimally invasive approach with a low complication rate and excellent short-term outcomes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The study evaluates the technology of fluoroscopy-based hip navigation that has shown to improve implant positioning in total hip arthroplasty (THA). METHODS Premier Healthcare data for patients undergoing manual THA or fluoroscopy-based hip navigation THA between 1 January 2016-30 September 2021, were analyzed 90- and 365-day post-THA. The primary outcome was inpatient readmission. Secondary outcomes were operating room (OR) time, length of stay, discharge status, and hospital costs. Baseline covariate differences were balanced using fine stratification and analyzed using generalized linear models. RESULTS Among 4,080 fluoroscopy-based hip navigation THA and 429,533 manual THA balanced patients, hip-related readmission rates were statistically significantly lower for the fluoroscopy-based hip navigation THA cohort vs. manual THA for both 90-day (odd ratio [95% CI]: 0.69 [0.52 to 0.91] and 365-day (0.63 [0.49 to 0.81] follow-up. OR time was higher with fluoroscopy-based hip navigation THA vs. manual THA (134.65 vs. 132.04 minutes); however, fluoroscopy-based hip navigation THA patients were more likely to be discharged to home (93.73% vs. 90.11%) vs. manual THA. Hospital costs were not different between cohorts at 90- and 365-day post-operative. CONCLUSIONS Fluoroscopy-based hip navigation THA resulted in fewer readmissions, greater discharge to home, and similar hospital costs compared to manual THA.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the safety and benefits of the biplanar position technique on operative time, radiation exposure, and screw placement accuracy. METHODS In this study, we retrospectively evaluated the records of 64 patients with pelvic fractures (Tile B and C) between October 2020 and September 2021. According to the surgical methods selected by the patients, the patients were divided into a biplanar positioning technique group (biplanar group), a Ti-robot navigation group (Ti-robot group), and a traditional fluoroscopy-guided technique group (traditional group). Length of operation, blood loss, intra-operative radiation exposure fracture reduction, and the quality of screw positioning were compared among the three groups. RESULTS One hundred three screws were implanted in 64 patients (biplanar group 22, Ti-robot group 21, traditional group 21). The average operation time was significantly less in the biplanar group (26.32 ± 6.32 min) than in the traditional group (79.24 ± 11.31 min), but significantly more than in the Ti-robot group (15.81 ± 3.9 min). The radiation exposure was similar in the biplanar group (740.53 ± 185.91 cGy/cm2) and Ti-robot group (678.44 ± 127.16 cGy/cm2), both of which were significantly more than in the traditional group (2034.58 ± 494.54 cGy/cm2). The intra-operative blooding loss was similar in the biplanar group (12.76 ± 3.77 mL) and the Ti-robot group (11.92 ± 4.67 mL), both of which were significantly less than in the traditional group (29.7 ± 8.01 mL). The Screw perforation was slightly lower in the biplanar group (94.1%) than in the Ti-robot group (97.2%) but was significantly higher than in the traditional group (75.7%). CONCLUSIONS The biplanar positioning technique is as accurate and safe as computer-navigated systems for percutaneous iliosacral screw insertion, associated with shorter surgical time, lower intra-operative radiation exposure, and more accuracy compared to traditional fluoroscopy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Both-column acetabular fracture is a type that accumulates both the pelvis and acetabulum with complex fracture line alignment and has variant fracture fragments. The selection of different reduction landmarks and sequences produces different qualities of reduction. This study aims to compare the operation-related items, quality of reduction, and hip functional outcome by using different reduction landmarks and sequences for management of both-column acetabular fractures (BCAF). METHODS A consecutive cohort of 42 patients from January 2013 to January 2019 with BCAF were treated operatively with different reduction landmarks and sequences: pelvic ring fractures reduction first (PRFRF group) and acetabular fractures reduction first (AFRF group). Preoperative computer visual surgical procedures were applied. There were 22 patients in PRFRF group and 20 patients in AFRF group. The surgical details, complications, radiographic and clinical results were recorded. The quality of reduction was assessed by the Matta scoring system. The functional outcome was evaluated by the modified Merle d'Aubigné and Postel scoring system. The measurement data were analyzed using the t-test of independent samples and rank-sum test of ranked data. RESULTS The real reduction sequence in both groups was almost identical to the preoperative surgical procedures. The excellent/good quality of reduction in PRFRF group (21/22) was better than AFRF group (17/20). Operative time (152.3 ± 16.3 mins) and intra-operative blood loss (639.5 ± 109.9ml) were significantly reduced in PRFRF group (p < 0.05). The incidence of deep vein thrombosis in PRFRF group (2/22) was less than AFRF group (4/20), but without statistical signification. CONCLUSION Selection of an appropriate reduction landmark and sequence could result in better quality of reduction, operative time, and decreased blood loss during treatment of BCAF.

Abstract
Background Minimally invasive surgery for pelvic fracture using anterior ring internal fixator system is increasing gradually, and the way to insert the fixation screws in the fixation system is the key technical points of the method. However, there have been few studies on insertion of fixation screws for the anterior pelvic ring internal fixator system. Objective To identify safe channels for fixation screws in the anterior pelvic fixator system and provide the anatomical basis for insertion of fixation screws in clinical operation. Methods Screw insertion was simulated into a total of 40 pelvic finite element models as well as 16 fresh pelvic specimens, and the channel parameters were measured. Results Finite elements (male, female) include: screws in ilium: length 114.4 ± 4.1 and 107.6 ± 8.3 mm, respectively; diameter 11.7 ± 0.5 and 10.0 ± 0.6 mm, distance between screw and anterior inferior iliac spine: 5.5 ± 1.0 and 5.6 ± 1.0 mm, angle of coronal plane 55.8° ± 2.4° and 50.6° ± 3.1°, angle of sagittal plane 26.6° ± 1.0° and 24.5° ± 1.9° and angle of horizontal plane 64.9 ± 3.7 and 58.1 ± 3.1; screws in pubis: length 47.0 ± 2.0 and 39.8 ± 3.9 mm, diameter 7.1 ± 0.4 and 6.1 ± 0.4 mm. Specimens (male, female) include: distance between screw and anterior inferior iliac spine: 5.5 ± 0.5 and 5.6 ± 0.7 mm, angle of coronal plane 55.9° ± 1.3° and 50.7° ± 1.5°, angle of sagittal plane 26.7° ± 0.5° and 24.1° ± 0.9° and angle of horizontal plane 64.8° ± 0.6° and 58.8° ± 0.8°. In the comparison between female and male in each group, differences in distances between screws and anterior inferior iliac spine and median line of symphysis pubis (P > 0.05) were not statistically significant; differences in the remaining parameters were statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusions If surgeons paid attention to sex differences, select screws of appropriate diameter and length and hold the insertion position and direction, screws in the anterior pelvic ring fixation system could be safely inserted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The percutaneous iliosacral screw is a common procedure for treating pelvic posterior ring instability. Traditional X-ray fluoroscopy screw placement has the advantages of decreased bleeding and trauma, but it also has some drawbacks, such as increased radiation exposure and screw dislocation. The purpose of this study was to establish a safe, effective, and quick approach for putting iliosacral screws for the treatment of unstable posterior pelvic ring damage utilizing simulated screws based on preoperative computed tomography (CT) planning. METHODS From February 2019 to June 2020, we retrospectively assessed 41 patients with posterior pelvic ring instability who were treated with percutaneous iliosacral screws in our institution, and randomly separated them into two groups: conventional surgery (n = 20) and preoperative planning (n = 21). Pelvic radiographs (anteroposterior, inlet, outlet), as well as normal CT scans of the pelvis, were all taken postoperatively to confirm the screw position. After that, the screw insertion time, the radiation exposure time, and the screw misplacement rate (as assessed by postoperative CT) were all examined. Screw position grading was evaluated by Smith grading. RESULTS In the conventional surgery group, 26 screws were inserted in 20 patients, with each screw insertion taking 23.15 ± 4.19 min and 1.02 ± 0.17 min to expose to radiation. Eight of the 26 screws were misplaced (30.8%). In the preoperative planning group, 24 screws were inserted in 21 patients, with each screw taking 19.57 ± 4.05 min to implant and 0.67 ± 0.09 min to expose to radiation. One of 24 screws was misplaced (4.2%). Screw insertion time, radiation exposure time, and screw dislocation rate were all significantly reduced when preoperative planning aided iliosacral screw placement (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Preoperative CT simulation of iliosacral screws for placement planning, screw trajectory, and intraoperative screw placement is a safe way for reducing surgical time, radiation exposure, and ensuring accurate screw placement.

Percutaneous iliosacral screw and trans-iliac trans-sacral screw with single C-arm fluoroscope intensifier is a safe treatment for pelvic ring injuries. Sci Rep 2022; 12:368. [PMID: 35013494 PMCID: PMC8748721 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-04351-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/20/2021] [Accepted: 12/14/2021] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
To elucidate the accuracy, efficacy, and safety of percutaneous iliosacral screw (ISS) and trans-iliac trans-sacral screw (TITS) insertion using a single C-arm fluoroscopy intensifier. Additionally, the potential risk factors that might cause mal-positioned screws were identified. Patients with pelvic ring injuries who underwent percutaneous screw fixation in a single medical institute were divided into an ISS group (n = 59) and a TITS group (n = 62) and assessed. The angles deviated from ideal orientation (ADIO) of the implanted screw were measured, and potential risk factors for mal-positioned screws were analyzed. Overall, the reduction quality of the pelvic ring was good or excellent in 70 patients (82.4%) by Matta’s criteria and in 48 patients (56.5%) by Lefaivre’s criteria. ADIO measurements of the ISS and TITS groups via multi-planar computed tomography were 9.16° ± 6.97° and 3.09° ± 2.8° in the axial view, respectively, and 5.92° ± 3.65° and 2.10° ± 2.01° in the coronal view, respectively. Univariate statistical analysis revealed body mass index as the single potential risk factor of mal-positioned screws. With careful preoperative planning and intraoperative preparations, placing ISS and TITS under the guidance of single C-arm fluoroscopy intensifier is a reliable and safe technique. Caution should be exercised when performing this procedure in patients with a high body mass index.

Clinical Analysis of Single and Double Sacroiliac Screws in the Treatment of Tile C1 Pelvic Fracture. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2022; 2022:6426977. [PMID: 35028316 PMCID: PMC8752205 DOI: 10.1155/2022/6426977] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/09/2021] [Revised: 11/25/2021] [Accepted: 12/04/2021] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
We investigated the difference between fixation of single and double sacroiliac screws in the treatment of Tile C1 pelvic fractures. The data of 54 patients with Tile C1 pelvic fractures who were admitted to the trauma center of the Red Society Hospital Affiliated to Xi’an Jiaotong University between August 2016 and August 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients with posterior pelvic ring injuries underwent fixation with sacroiliac screws assisted by a percutaneous robotic navigation system. The operative time, amount of intraoperative blood loss, and postoperative follow-up time between the two groups (single sacroiliac and double sacroiliac screw groups) were compared. The Matta and Majeed scores at the last follow-up were compared between the groups to evaluate fracture reduction and functional recovery. Forty-nine patients were followed up for 17.2 (±4.5) months and 16.2 (±3.4) months in the single and double sacroiliac screw groups, respectively. All patients had excellent fracture reduction immediately after surgery, according to the Matta score. All fractures healed without complications. There was no statistically significant difference in preoperative general information, amount intraoperative blood loss, intraoperative anterior ring fixation method, and postoperative follow-up time between the two groups (
). The operative time of the single sacroiliac screw group was shorter than that of the double sacroiliac screw group (
). At the last follow-up, the Matta score of the double sacroiliac screw group was significantly better than that of the single sacroiliac screw group (
), and there was no statistically significant difference in the Majeed functional scores (
). For Tile C1 pelvic fractures, double sacroiliac screw fixation of posterior ring injuries can provide a more stable treatment with no statistically significant difference in functional recovery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of the study is to evaluate the use of the suprapectineal quadrilateral surface (QLS) plates associated with the anterior intrapelvic approach (AIP) to the acetabulum in the surgical treatment of acetabular fractures with anterior involvement. METHODS We did a retrospective study of patients surgically treated with QLS plates and AIP for acetabular fractures with the involvement of the anterior column, between February 2018 and February 2020, in our Hospital. The following data were recorded: mechanism of injury, the pattern of fracture, presence of other associated injuries, the time before performing the surgery, surgical approach, position on operating table, time of surgery, intraoperative bleeding, hospitalization time, intraoperative and postoperative complications. Follow-ups were performed at 1, 3, 6, 12 months, then annually. The clinical-functional outcome was assessed with the Merle d'Aubigne Postel score (MAP) modified by Matta; while the radiological outcome with the Matta Radiological Scoring System (MRSS). A Chi-square test was utilized to examine associations between parametric variables. RESULTS We included 34 patients, mean age 62.1, with an average follow-up of 20.7 months. The most frequent traumatic mechanism was road trauma. There were 15 isolated anterior columns and 19 associated patterns. There were 5 cases of associated visceral injuries, and 10 cases of other associated skeletal fractures. All patients were in the supine position. The surgical approach used was the AIP in all cases, with the addition of the first window of the ilioinguinal approach in 16 cases and of the Kocher-Langenbeck approach in 2 cases. The average time before performing the surgery was 8.5 days. The mean time of the surgery and the mean length of stay after surgery were 227.9 min and 8.2 days, respectively. There weren't cases of intra-operative complications, while there were postoperative complications in 5 patients. The MRSS was judged anatomical in 26 cases, imperfect in 7 cases and poor in 1 case. The average MAP value was 15.2. We observed a significant relationship between the radiological outcome and the clinical outcome (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The QLS plates in association with the AIP approach represent an effective treatment strategy for the treatment of acetabular fractures with anterior involvement.

Computer-assisted cannulated screw internal fixation versus conventional cannulated screw internal fixation for femoral neck fractures: a systematic review and meta-analysis. J Orthop Surg Res 2021; 16:687. [PMID: 34809649 PMCID: PMC8607593 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-021-02806-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2021] [Accepted: 10/20/2021] [Indexed: 02/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective To compare the effects between computer-assisted and traditional cannulated screw internal fixation on treating femoral neck fracture. Methods The search was conducted in Embase, Pubmed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and Wanfang Database from the beginning to August 2020. RevMan5.4 software, which was provided by the International Cochrane Group, was used for the meta-analysis comparing the differences in operation time, intraoperative bleeding volume, fluoroscopy frequency, fracture healing time, total drilling times, Harris score, fracture healing rate, and femoral head necrosis rate between computer-assisted and traditional methods groups. Results A total of 1028 patients were included in 16 studies. Primary outcome indicators: Compared with the traditional method group, the computer-assisted group had less operative time (2RCTs, P < 0.00001; 8 non-RCTs, P = 0.009; Overall, P < 0.00001), intraoperative bleeding (1 RCTs, P < 0.00001; 9non-RCTs, P < 0.00001; Overall, P < 0.00001), femoral head necrosis rate (1 RCT, P = 0.11;7 non-RCTs, P = 0.09; Overall, P = 0.02) and higher Harris scores (1 RCT, P < 0.0001; 9 non-RCTs, P = 0.0002; Overall, P < 0.0001), and there were no significant differences in fracture healing rate between the two groups (5 non-RCTs, P = 0.17). Secondary outcomes indicators: The computer-assisted group had a lower frequency of intraoperative fluoroscopy and total number of drills compared with the traditional method group, while there was no significant difference in fracture healing time. Conclusion Compared with the traditional hollow screw internal fixation on the treatment of femoral neck fracture, computer-assisted percutaneous cannulated screw fixation can shorten the operation time and improve the operation efficiency and reduce the X-ray injury of medical staff and help patients obtain a better prognosis. Therefore, computer-assisted percutaneous cannulated screw fixation is a better choice for the treatment of femoral neck fracture. Study registration PROSPERO registration number CRD42020214493.

Wenning KE, Yilmaz E, Schildhauer TA, Hoffmann MF. Comparison of lumbopelvic fixation and iliosacral screw fixation for the treatment of bilateral sacral fractures. J Orthop Surg Res 2021; 16:604. [PMID: 34656147 PMCID: PMC8520204 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-021-02768-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2021] [Accepted: 10/04/2021] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Bilateral sacral fractures result in traumatic disruption of the posterior pelvic ring. Treatment for unstable posterior pelvic ring fractures should aim for fracture reduction and rigid fixation to facilitate early mobilization. Iliosacral screw fixation (ISF) and lumbopelvic fixation (LPF) were recommended for the treatment of these injuries. No algorithm or gold standard exists for surgery of these fractures. Purpose The purpose of this study was to evaluate the differences between ISF and LPF in bilateral sacral fractures regarding intraoperative procedures, complications and postoperative mobilization. The secondary aim was to determine whether demographics influence surgical treatment. Methods Over a 4-year period (2016–2019), 188 consecutive patients with pelvic ring injuries were treated at one academic level 1 trauma center and retrospectively identified. Fractures were classified according to the AO/OTA classification system. Seventy-seven patients were treated with LPF or ISF in combination with internal fixation of pubic rami fractures and could be included in this study. Comparisons were made between demographic and perioperative data. Infection, hematoma and hardware malpositioning were used as complication variables. Mobilization with unrestricted weight bearing was used as outcome variable. Follow-up was at least 6 months postoperatively. Results Operative stabilization of bilateral posterior pelvic ring injuries was performed in 77 patients. Therefore, 29 patients (females 59%) underwent LPF whereas 48 patients (females 83%) had bilateral ISF. The ISF group was older (76 yrs.) compared to the LPF group (62 yrs.) (p = 0.001), but no differences regarding BMI or comorbidities were detected. Time for surgery was reduced for patients who were treated with ISF compared to lumbopelvic fixation (73 min vs. 165 min; respectively, p < 0.001). But this did not result in reduced fluoroscopic time or radiation exposure. Overall complication rate was not different between the groups. Patients with LPF had a greater length of stay (p = 0.008) but were all weight bearing as tolerated when discharged (p < 0.001). Conclusion Bilateral posterior pelvic ring injuries of the sacrum can be sufficiently treated by LPF or ISF. LPF allows immediate weight bearing which may benefit younger patients and patients with an elevated risk for pneumonia or other pulmonary complications. Treatment with ISF reduces operative time, length of stay and postoperative wound infection. Elderly patients may be better suited for treatment with ISF if there is concern that the patient may not tolerate the increased operative time.

Epidemiology and aetiology of male and female sexual dysfunctions related to pelvic ring injuries: a systematic review. INTERNATIONAL ORTHOPAEDICS 2021; 45:2687-2697. [PMID: 34378143 PMCID: PMC8514382 DOI: 10.1007/s00264-021-05153-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2021] [Accepted: 07/17/2021] [Indexed: 11/05/2022]
Abstract
Introduction Pelvic ring injuries, frequently caused by high energy trauma, are associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality (5–33%), often due to significant blood loss and disruption of the lumbosacral plexus, genitourinary system, and gastrointestinal system. The aim of the present study is to perform a systematic literature review on male and female sexual dysfunctions related to traumatic lesions of the pelvic ring. Methods Scopus, Cochrane Library MEDLINE via PubMed, and Embase were searched using the keywords: “Pelvic fracture,” “Pelvic Ring Fracture,” “Pelvic Ring Trauma,” “Pelvic Ring injury,” “Sexual dysfunction,” “Erectile dysfunction,” “dyspareunia,” and their MeSH terms in any possible combination. The following questions were formulated according to the PICO (population (P), intervention (I), comparison (C), and outcome (O)) scheme: Do patients suffering from pelvic fracture (P) report worse clinical outcomes (C), in terms of sexual function (O), when urological injury occurs (I)? Is the sexual function (O) influenced by the type of fracture (I)? Results After screening 268 articles by title and abstract, 77 were considered eligible for the full-text analysis. Finally 17 studies that met inclusion criteria were included in the review. Overall, 1364 patients (902 males and 462 females, M/F ratio: 1.9) suffering from pelvic fractures were collected. Discussion Pelvic fractures represent challenging entities, often concomitant with systemic injuries and subsequent morbidity. Anatomical consideration, etiology, correlation between sexual dysfunction and genitourinary lesions, or pelvic fracture type were investigated. Conclusion There are evidences in the literature that the gravity and frequency of SD are related with the pelvic ring fracture type. In fact, patients with APC, VS (according Young-Burgess), or C (according Tile) fracture pattern reported higher incidence and gravity of SD. Only a week association could be found between GUI and incidence and gravity of SD, and relationship between surgical treatment and SD. Electrophysiological tests should be routinely used in patient suffering from SD after pelvic ring injuries.
