title: [Computer-assisted arthrodesis of the sacroiliac joint].
abstract: Arthrodesis of the sacroiliac joint (SI) usually requires a large surgical exposure using the lateral approach. Computer-assisted surgery based on intraoperative 3D fluoroscopy imaging can reduce the approach to stab incisions. The clinical example shows the insertion of two screws and a cylindrical bone graft to achieve an arthrodesis of the SI joint. The intraoperatively navigated placement of implants and bone graft was performed only by stab incisions.
