Description

This study investigates the influence of sacral morphology variations on the stabilization provided by sacroiliac screws in patients with pelvic posterior ring fractures. Using high-resolution CT scans for advanced 3D analysis, it identifies sacral dysmorphism variations of L5/S1 sacralization, tongue-in-groove phenomena, and mammillary bodies, that are crucial for refining surgical planning and enhancing fixation effectiveness.
