Abstract |
Background |
Recent studies of iliosacral screw fixation performed using intraoperative navigation systems have shown promising results. The Surgivisio Platform is a new-generation three-dimensional intraoperative navigation tool that has been used at our institution for 2years. The aim of this prospective study was to assess the contribution of navigation in terms of iliosacral screw positioning accuracy and of radiation exposure, by comparing outcomes with vs. without navigation.
Hypothesis |
Navigation allows more accurate percutaneous iliosacral screw positioning regardless of the type of screw fixation (with sacral dysmorphism and/or cemented screw fixation and/or multiple screw fixation).
Materials and methods |
Between January 2018 and December 2019, consecutive patients who underwent percutaneous iliosacral screw fixation of pelvic ring fractures without vertical instability were included in this single-centre prospective study. Screw position accuracy was evaluated by postoperative high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT). Operative time, radiation dose, and complications were recorded.
Results |
We included 127 patients with 174 iliosacral screws, of which 129 were positioned under fluoroscopic guidance and 45 using navigation. According to the modified Gras classification, 7% (12/174) of the screws were incorrectly positioned and 2% (4/174) required repositioning. The frequency of screw malposition was not significantly different between the fluoroscopy and navigation groups (8.5%, 11/129 vs. 2.2%, 1/45, respectively; p=0.19). However, screw position in dysmorphic sacra was significantly better with navigation (p=0.04), whereas no significant difference in final screw position was found for cemented or multiple screw implantations. In the navigation group, the operative time was significantly longer (28.2min vs. 21.6min, p=0.003), and the mean dose-area product significantly greater (6.6Gy·cm2 vs. 4.9Gy·cm2, p=0.02). The complication rates were not different between the two groups.
Conclusion |
In patients who have pelvic ring fractures without vertical instability, navigation of percutaneous iliosacral screw placement using the Surgivisio Platform improves screw positioning in dysmorphic sacra, at the cost of a longer operative time and greater radiation exposure of the patient.
Level of evidence |
