Review Comparative Study
Comparison between posterior sacral plate stabilization versus minimally invasive transiliac-transsacral lag-screw fixation in fractures of sacrum: a single-centre experience.
The sacrum is a mechanical nucleus working as the base for the spinal column, as well as the keystone of the pelvic ring. Thus, injuries of the sacrum can lead to biomechanical instability and nerve conduction abnormality. ⋯ In this study, we evaluate the differences, in the treatment of sacral fractures, between the two techniques, revising the literature and our experience.
