Abstract:
Objective:To compare the efficacy of 3D navigation versus C-arm fluoroscopy for placement of percutaneous double-segment long sacroiliac screws in the treatment of injury to the posterior pelvic ring.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted in the 48 patients with pelvic fracture who had been treated surgically from February 2015 to October 2020 at Department of Orthopaedics, General Hospital of Central Command of PLA. The patients were divided into a navigation group and a fluoroscopy group according to their different auxiliary ways to assist screw placement. In the navigation group of 27 patients, there were 19 males and 8 females, with an age of (45.5±7.4) years; in the fluoroscopy group of 21 patients, there were 14 males and 7 females, with an age of (44.1±10.1) years. The 2 groups were compared in terms of placement time for each screw, fluoroscopy time for each screw, adjustments of guide wire, accuracy of screw position, quality of fracture reduction, fracture union time, pelvic function, and postoperative complications.Results:The 2 groups were comparable because there was no significant difference between them in the preoperative general data ( P>0.05). The placement time for each screw [(12.7±2.2) min], fluoroscopy time for each screw [(40.7±9.3) s] and adjustments of guide wire [1 (0,1) time] in the navigation group were significantly less than those in the fluoroscopy group [(23.7±3.6) min, (71.4±14.1)s and 5 (4,6) times] (all P<0.05); the assessment of screw placement in the former (49 excellent, 4 good and one poor cases) was significantly better than that in the latter (29 excellent, 8 good and 5 poor cases) ( P<0.05). The 48 patients were followed up for 8 to 25 months (mean, 13.1 months). There were no significant differences between the 2 groups in fracture union time, quality of fracture reduction or Majeed scores for the pelvic function (all P>0.05).Symptoms of injury to the L5 nerve root were observed in one patient in the fluoroscopy group; none of the patients reported postoperative complications like wound infection, screw loosening or breaking. Conclusions:Compared with C-arm fluoroscopy, 3D navigation may better assist placement of percutaneous double-segment long sacroiliac screws in the treatment of injury to the posterior pelvic ring, because 3D navigation can significantly shorten the time for screw placement and the fluoroscopy time for screw placement, reduce adjustments of guide wire, and improve accuracy of screw placement.
