Modified triangular osteosynthesis in the treatment of bilateral sacroiliac joint dislocation

Abstract

Bilateral sacroiliac joint dislocation is a rare injury associated with rotational and vertical instability of the pelvic ring. The ideal strategy for the reduction and fixation of this injury is poorly described in the current literature. Triangular osteosynthesis provides multiplanar stability to the posterior pelvic ring allowing early weight bearing. We present the case of a young female with a bilateral sacroiliac joint dislocation who underwent a modified bilateral triangular osteosynthesis, using S1 pedicle screws to improve the reduction of the sacroiliac joint.
