Bone density of first and second segments of normal and dysmorphic sacra

ConclusionsOur results would indicate that, based on BMD alone, fixation should be maximized in S1 prior to fixation in S2. In cases where S2 fixation is required, we recommend that transsacral fixation should be strongly considered if possible to bypass the S2 body and achieve fixation in the cortical bone of the ilium and sacrum.Level of evidenceLevel III.
