Comparative tomographic study of the S2-alar-iliac screw versus the iliac screw

ConclusionThe trajectory of the S2-alar-iliac screws studied via computed tomography was greater in terms of bone thickness and deeper relative to the skin compared with the iliac screws. The S2-alar-iliac technique may have desirable clinical advantages in terms of the diameter of the screws and reduced protrusion when used in adults.Graphical abstractThese slides can be retrieved from Electronic supplementary material.
