Spinopelvic fixation: modern technical solutions

Abstract

The paper presents the second part of literature review devoted to modern techniques of spinopelvic fixation for various pathologies of the spine and injuries to the spine and pelvis. The review is non-systematic and was conducted using PubMed and eLibrary databases of medical literature. Modern techniques of spinopelvic fixation using screws installed in the ilium are highlighted, including anatomical and biomechanical features, clinical results of application, as well as the implementation of spinopelvic fixation for tumor lesions of the sacrum, including the use of customized implants and additive technologies. The features of classical installation of iliac screws and installation by the S2AIS technique are considered, and their advantages and disadvantages and possible complications are evaluated.
