Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the clinical effectiveness of the combined use of S1 pedicle screws and the iliac screws in treatment of sacroiliac dislocation and fracture. Methods 11 patients with sacroiliac dislocation and fracture were treated with S1 pedicle screw and iliac screw fixation technique. In this group, the dislocation was associated with vertical displacement of the sacroiliac joint and rotational deformity of the pelvic ring. They were classified as type B or type C pelvic disruption according to the Tile's classification. 7 patients with disruption of the symphysis pubis or pubic branch fracture underwent additional fixation of the pelvic ring using a reconstruction plate. The remaining 4 patients were treated by the posterior procedure alone. Results The vertical displacement was completely reduced in 7 patients, and the rotational deformity completely corrected in 4 patients. The reduction was maintained at the time of final follow up evaluation. No perioperative complications were found. The combined use of S1 pedicle screws and the iliac screws provided immediate stability and sufficient reduction for sacroiliac dislocation in the 11 patients in this study. Conclusion This hybrid internal fixation procedure is useful for reduction and fixation of sacroiliac dislocation associated with the vertical and rotational instability of the pelvic ring.
