This study introduces a computer-assisted technique for precise iliosacral screw placement in pelvic fractures. The novel ultrasound-guided method enhances accuracy and safety in minimally invasive surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Medical Imaging
  • Computer-Assisted Surgery

Background:

  • Unstable pelvic ring fractures pose significant surgical challenges.
  • Traditional screw placement risks damage to nearby neurovascular structures.
  • Minimally invasive techniques are sought to reduce surgical complications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose and evaluate a computer-assisted technique for percutaneous iliosacral screw placement.
  • To enhance surgical accuracy and minimize risks associated with pelvic fracture fixation.
  • To validate an innovative ultrasound-based intraoperative registration method.

Main Methods:

  • Preoperative CT imaging and 3D model creation for trajectory planning.
  • Intraoperative ultrasound-based registration for guidance.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Percutaneous drilling and screw insertion.
  • Post-procedure CT verification and comparison with surface-based registration.

    • Main Results:

    • Successfully placed 12 screws across four human pelvic specimens with high accuracy.
    • All screw placements were verified by CT examination.
    • Ultrasound-based registration demonstrated comparable accuracy to surface-based methods.

    Conclusions:

    • The computer-assisted technique with ultrasound registration is safe and accurate for iliosacral screw placement.
    • This method offers a promising approach for treating unstable pelvic ring fractures.
    • The findings support the initiation of clinical applications for this innovative surgical technique.
