The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical safety and efficacy of using a cannulated transsacral screw having a novel locking capability for pelvic fracture fixation. ⋯ Locked transsacral screw fixation is a safe and effective technique that should be added to our surgical armamentarium. Indications include bilateral posterior injury as well as any situation in which routine transsacral screw fixation might otherwise be considered such as the presence of pelvic osteopenia or insufficient space for a second point of posterior fixation.
