Posterior pelvic ring fixation (PPRF) effectively stabilizes transverse sacral fractures (TSF). Spinopelvic fixation (SPF) is recommended for TSF with associated lumbosacral instability.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Trauma Surgery
  • Spine Surgery

Background:

  • Optimal management for transverse sacral fractures (TSF) remains unclear despite various surgical interventions.
  • Existing literature lacks comprehensive summaries of TSF surgical techniques and outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify and describe reconstruction methods for TSF treatment.
  • To evaluate outcomes based on different surgical interventions for TSF.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review of PubMed database using keywords for sacral fractures requiring internal fixation.
  • Inclusion of bibliographies and meeting proceedings for comprehensive data retrieval.

Main Results:

  • 27 publications (109 patients) with TSF were included, with an average follow-up of 22 months.

A Teleoperated Robotic System-Assisted Percutaneous Transiliac-Transsacral Screw Fixation Technique

Published on: January 6, 2023

  • Posterior pelvic ring fixation (PPRF) was used in 49% of patients, spinopelvic fixation (SPF) in 34%, and both in 17%.
  • Neurological recovery varied, with PPRF showing effectiveness, while SPF was crucial for cases with additional lumbosacral instability.

    • Conclusions:

    • Posterior pelvic ring fixation (PPRF) demonstrates effectiveness in stabilizing transverse sacral fractures (TSF).
    • Spinopelvic fixation (SPF) is indicated for TSF when associated with further lumbosacral instability to ensure adequate stabilization.
