Objective The second sacral segment iliosacral screw (S2 screw) insertion is a demanding technique, with a high rate of screw malposition due to the complex pelvic anatomy. TiRobot™ is an orthopedic surgery robot which can be used for S2 screw fixation. We carried out a retrospective analysis of the accuracy of S2 screws using robot-assisted navigation.Methods A retrospective analysis of 16 patients admitted and managed by S2 screw fixation for unstable pelvic fractures was carried out for evaluation of its efficacy and safety. all patients with pelvic ring disruptions and sacral dysmorphism were evaluated radiographically and S2 screws were placed using a robot-assisted navigation technique. Screw position was assessed and classified using postoperative computed tomography. Fisher’s exact probabilities test was used to analyse the screws’ positions. Surgical time after reduction of the pelvis, insertion time for guide wire, number of guide wire attempts, and radiation exposure without pelvic reduction were also assessed.Results The excellent and good rate of screw placement was 100%. The fluoroscopy time after pelvic reduction was 7 (7, 9) seconds. The operation time after reduction of the pelvis was 29 (27,33). Time for guide wire insertion was 2.0 (2, 2) minutes. The number of guide wire attempts was 0.0 (0, 0). No postoperative complications or revisions were reported.Conclusion S2 iliosacral screws can be safely and accurately accomplished using a robot-assisted navigation technique in patients with unstable posterior pelvic ring disruptions and sacral dysmorphism.

Objective Atlantoaxial fixation is technically demanding and challenging, especially in cases with anatomical abnormality. The purpose of this study is to report the effectiveness of the three-dimensional (3D)-customized guiding template for placement of C1 and C2 screws in cases with abnormalities. Method Two patients with anatomical abnormality and one without were included. The preoperative computed tomography (CT) image was analyzed using our software. The entry point, trajectory, and depth of the screws were designed based on these images. Templates with screw guiding cylinders and cervical spine model were created. In operation, guiding templates were applied directly to the laminae. Drilling, tapping, and screwing were performed through the cylinders. To evaluate the accuracy, deviation of the screw axis from the preplanned trajectory was measured on postoperative CT. A classification system was taking to evaluate the pedicle screw insertion. Results In complex cases, one of C2 screws has grade 2 deviation, and two has grade 1. There was no deviation in screws of C1. All patients achieved symptoms free after 6 months follow-up. Conclusion Although 3D-printed template for atlantoaxial fixation still has limitation in complex cases, it has been proved usefulness and makes the most difficult and dangerous spinal posterior fixation easy to achieve.

Abstract Background The anterior transpedicle screw technique for L5 and S1 is crucial for proper anterior lumbar interbody fusion. This study aimed to determine the projection, screw trajectory angle, and bone screw passageway length (BSPL) of the anterior transpedicle screw in L5 and S1, as well as the screw’s insertion regularity and the operating area that is safe for its insertion. Methods Forty patients with low back pain, all of whom had lumbar computed tomography scans available, were included in a retrospective analysis. Radiographic parameters were measured, including the distances from the projection to the upper endplate, lower endplate, and midline; the transverse and sagittal screws’ angles; and the BSPL. Ten fresh adult cadaveric lumbosacral spine segments were chosen to determine the safe anatomical area at which to operate. Finally, anterior transpedicle screws were inserted in L5 and S1 to determine the regularity of anterior pedicle screw insertion. Results We measured the anterior projection parameters, including the distances to the upper endplate (L5:12.5 ± 1.3 mm; S1: 4.54 ± 0.87 mm), lower endplate (L5: 17.3 ± 1.6 mm), and midline (L5: 6.6 ± 0.7 mm; S1: 6.6 ± 0.6 mm); the screw trajectory angle, including the transverse screw angle (L5: 25.3° ± 2.8°; S1: 25.7° ± 2.6°), sagittal screw angle (L5: 17.1° ± 1.7°; S1: 22.4° ± 1.1°); and the BSPL (L5: 48.6 ± 3.5 mm; S1: 48.0 ± 3.5 mm). We then identified the safe operating area and the regularity of L5 and S1 anterior pedicle screw insertions. Conclusions We determined the projection, screw trajectory angle, and BSPL of anterior transpedicle screws in L5 and S1, their insertion regularity, and the area in which the operation could be safely performed.

Nonunion of a sacral fracture is a rare but serious clinical condition which can cause severe chronic pain, discomfort while sitting, and significant restriction of the level of activities. Fracture nonunions reportedly occur most often after nonoperative initial treatment or inappropriate operative treatment. We report a case of fracture nonunion of the sacrum and pubic rami that resulted from non-operative initial treatment, which was treated successfully using bone grafting through a posterior approach and CT-guided percutaneous iliosacral screw fixation combined with anterior external fixation. Although autologous bone grafting has been the gold standard for the treatment of pelvic fracture nonunions, little has been written describing the approach. We utilized a posterior approach for bone grafting, which could allow direct visualization of the nonunion site and preclude nerve root injury. By this procedure, we were able to obtain the healing of fracture nonunion, leading to pain relief and functional recovery.
