    AbstractNon-union of displaced pelvic ring injuries are challenging to treat. In cases where a previous osteosynthesis has failed it can be challenging to remove the previous implant. This technical note presents a technique for the removal of a broken SI screw in the sacrum. It is a navigation assisted technique that allows for minimal invasive screw remnant removal so that the sacral corridors remain available for later reconstruction.Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Ltd.
