Summary: A retrospective study analyzed patients with ASD who underwent long segment spinal fusion with IS or S2AI fixation. The IS technique showed better correction of lumbar lordosis and a possible increase in pelvic incidence compared to the S2AI technique. Further research is needed to determine the clinical implications of these findings.

Summary: This retrospective cohort study aimed to determine the rate and risk factors for S2AI screw-related pain after adult spinal deformity surgery. The study found that 9.6% of patients experienced S2AI screw-related pain, and 3.4% required screw removal. Patients in the pain group showed greater changes in SRS function score and SVA postoperatively.

Summary: This study evaluated the progression of hip pathology and risk factors after ASD surgery, and identified significant factors such as sex, developmental dysplasia of the hip, baseline KL grade, and S2AI screw fixation. The non-loosening of the S2AI screw was found to be an important factor for KL grade progression in hips undergoing S2AI screw fixation.

Summary: This study compared S2 alar-iliac screw (S2AIS) trajectories between males and females using pelvic three-dimensional computed tomography (3D-CT) in a normal Japanese population. The study found that the angulation of S2AIS was more lateral in the axial plane and more horizontal in the coronal plane in females. Females also had shorter distances from the midline to the starting points of S2AIS and longer distances from the midline to the posterior superior iliac spine.

Summary: The study found that 36.8% of ASD patients undergoing S2AI screw surgery experienced PI changes of >= 6.0 degrees, with H-PI patients being the most commonly affected. Despite changes in PI, pelvic parameters significantly improved postoperatively.

Summary: This study reports the preliminary outcomes of freehand S2AI screw fixation after lumbosacral tumor resection. The results show that this technique has good performance in terms of operative time, blood loss, and screw accuracy, with no observed severe complications. The study also found that the technique is effective in the treatment of lumbosacral tumors.

Summary: This study evaluated the clinical outcomes of S2AI and IS techniques in lumbopelvic reconstruction for lumbosacral tuberculosis patients, finding that the S2AI group had shorter operation time and less intraoperative blood loss compared to the IS group. Both groups showed significant improvement in postoperative outcomes, with no significant difference in remission degree observed between the two groups.

Summary: The present study assessed the feasibility, safety, and accuracy of navigated spinopelvic fixation with the use of high-resolution 3D intraoperative imaging and real-time spinal navigation. The results showed successful implantation of S1 screws in 53% and S2AIS in 85% of patients, indicating that navigation technology improved accuracy and reduced surgical time.

Summary: The study analyzed a novel technique for S2AI screw placement assisted with a guidewire, showing high accuracy in screw placement assessed by computed tomography. The results demonstrated that the use of the guidewire improved the accuracy of S2AI screw placement with minimal complications.

Summary: The goal of this study was to investigate clinical outcomes and risk factors for the progression of sacroiliac joint (SIJ) degeneration and bone formation after S2 alar-iliac screw (S2AIS) insertion. The results showed that about 10% of patients with preoperative SIJ degeneration had significant progression of degeneration. Bone formation was observed in about 6.9% of joints. However, neither the progression of SIJ degeneration nor the bone formation led to major complications or affected the postoperative clinical course.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to compare the lengths and trajectories of lateral entry point S2-alar-iliac (L-S2AI) screw with conventional S2AI (C-S2AI) and conventional iliac screw (CIS). The study found that L-S2AI screw has advantages of increased screw length, reduced lateral angulation, ease of connection to proximal hardware, and quadcortical purchase.

Summary: This study evaluated the biomechanical stability of S2 alar-iliac screw and S1 pedicle screw fixation in treating Denis II sacral fractures. The results showed that S2 alar-iliac screw and S1 pedicle screw fixation had significant advantages in terms of relative displacement and gap angle, providing good stability for the fracture models.

Summary: This study investigated the changes in pelvic incidence (PI) in adult spinal deformity (ASD) patients who underwent S2-alar-iliac screw fixation. The results showed that PI decreased immediately after surgery in more than half of the patients, but approximately 48% were able to recover during the 2-year follow-up. Lower pre-op PI, post-op PI, and pelvic tilt were strongly associated with the return of PI. Therefore, it is recommended to avoid over-correction in patients with high pre-operative PI to prevent PI-LL mismatch postoperatively.
