title: Image-Based Techniques for Percutaneous Iliosacral Screw Start-Site Localization.
abstract: Despite the routine use of iliosacral screws for the treatment of a variety of pelvic fractures, the technique is demanding, and complications are well described. This article describes a novel image-based technique for accurately identifying and reproducing the appropriate placement of iliosacral screws. Using the stab-incision technique presented here allows for more accurate landmark identification and safer placement of implants.
