Transiliosacral fixation using the O-ARM2® and STEALTHSTATION® navigation system.

Pelvic fractures are quite uncommon, they represent only 2-8% of all fractures. Osteosynthesis with percutaneous trans-Iliosacral screw is recognized as one of the standard procedures for the treatment of unstable posterior pelvic ring lesions. Because of the high number of complications associated with the conservative treatment of these kind of lesions such as pain, limb heterometry, difficulty in walking and sexual disability, percutaneous fixation with trans-iliosacral screw has found wide use and has become very popular among orthopedic surgeons. This technique is indicated for the treatment of dislocations of the sacro-iliac joint, some types of sacral and iliac fractures or combinations of these lesions.
