Navigated Percutaneous Sacroiliac Screw Fixation in Unstable Pelvic Ring Fracture

Since the late 1990s, navigation systems have been widely used in a variety of orthopaedic surgical procedures, with the majority of these procedures being complex arthroplasty surgeries and the correction of spinal abnormalities. Navigation systems are, however, infrequently used in trauma cases, especially in unstable pelvic ring fractures. The conventional method of percutaneous sacroiliac screw fixation typically used fluoroscopic image intensifiers to fix unstable pelvic ring fractures. We will examine how navigation systems can be used in trauma situations, particularly those involving unstable posterior pelvic ring fractures and focus on the advantages and disadvantages that we experienced during management.
