Objectives

Percutaneous iliosacral screw placement is a standard, stabilization technique for pelvic fractures. The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of a novel biplanar robot navigation aiming system for percutaneous iliosacral screw placement in a human cadaver model.

Methods

A novel biplanar robot navigation aiming system was used in 16 intact human cadaveric pelvises for percutaneous iliosacral screw insertion. The number of successful screw placements and mean time for this insertion and intra-operative fluoroscopy per screw-pair were recorded respectively to evaluate the procedure. The accuracy of the aiming process was evaluated by computed tomography.
