Minimally Invasive Repair of Sacroiliac Luxation

Sacroiliac fracture-luxation is a common injury that is associated with ilial and acetabular fractures of the opposite hemipelvis. Sacroiliac fracture-luxation results in an unstable pelvis and potentially collapse of the pelvic canal. A minimally invasive approach to the reduction and insertion of a screw for fixation of sacroiliac fracture-luxation using fluoroscopic guidance is viable. The advantages of using this technique are that a small incision is made with minimal soft tissue disruption and the surgical time is short. Recent publications have documented that this technique provided superior repair of sacroiliac fracture-luxations.
