Biomechanical Models of in vitro constructs for Spinopelvic Osteosynthesis.

Spinopelvic lesions are the result of high-energy vertical trauma with axial skeletal overload due, generally, to a height fall where the spine impacts onto the sacrum, dissociating the lumbar spine from the pelvis 1. The horizontal tract of the sacral fracture often occurs at the level of the vertebral body of S2 although it can also occur through the one corresponding to S1, S3, the junction of S1-S2 or S2-S3 with quite similar percentages 2,3.
