Comparative Study
Personalized image-based templates for iliosacral screw insertions: a pilot study.
Stabilization of rare unstable pelvic fractures in the case of sacral fractures and iliosacral joint dislocations can be tricky. 3D reconstruction and reverse engineering templates may be used to increase the accuracy of screw placement. ⋯ Personalized image-based templates for iliosacral screw insertions can increase the sacral lag screw placement accuracy, reduce radiation exposure, and shorten surgery time compared with traditional fluoroscopic methods.
