Safe surgical corridor for iliosacral screw placement in unstable pelvic fractures: a computed-tomography-guided validation study of the "triangulation method"

CONCLUSIONS: The skin entry point of the percutaneous iliosacral screw can be located by drawing an equilateral triangle from the anterior superior iliac spine and the greater trochanter as the base to the dorsum end of the patient's head. In summary, this retrospective cohort study validated the safety and efficacy of the "triangulation methods" for percutaneous fixation of unstable posterior pelvic ring injuries.PMID:37968701 | PMC:PMC10647156 | DOI:10.1186/s13037-023-00380-x
