Summary: Iliosacral joint immobilization causes task-dependent deviations in walking, such as increased plantarflexor force and altered joint movements. Patients experience significant mobility limitation after iliosacral screw fixation.

Summary: The retrospective study determined the efficacy and safety of using two tension band ilioiliac locking compression plates for fixation of FFP type IV fractures. The study included 41 patients treated from 2017-2020, and the results showed significant improvement in functional outcomes and performance after one year of treatment. The fixation method was proven to be efficient and safe, with minimal complications.

Summary: Advancements in reduction and fixation techniques of the pelvis and acetabulum have led to increased use of percutaneous and minimally invasive techniques. While these techniques offer many advantages over traditional open techniques, a thorough understanding of surgical anatomy is essential to minimize risks to nearby structures.

Summary: Iliosacral screw removal is a rare surgery and removing the washer can be challenging. Traditional instruments often fail or cause tissue damage, blood loss, and radiation exposure. A new surgical tactic has been developed to easily and reliably retrieve the washer during percutaneous removal of iliosacral screws without increasing morbidity.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of percutaneous sacroiliac joint screw placement using unobstructed orthopaedic surgery robots on longitudinal sacrum fractures. The results showed significant differences in screw placement angle deviation, guide needle deviation, intra-operative fluoroscopy time, and insertion time of each sacroiliac joint screw between the robot group and the freehand group, indicating better treatment outcomes in the robot group.

Summary: This study evaluated the use of external fixation for stabilizing pelvic fractures and proposed a classification system for the applied external frames. The results showed that external fixation is a viable option for stabilizing pelvic fractures, either as a primary or secondary fixation method. The evaluation of cases revealed a high level of patient comfort and no major complications. Therefore, external fixation should be considered as a technical option for stabilizing pelvic fractures.

Summary: The study concluded that the theoretical compatibility rate of S2AI screws and S2 sacroiliac screws in the S2 segment was 94%, and the biomechanical stability of ITO is slightly lower than TTS but better than TO, making it a potential new method for treating posterior pelvic ring injuries.

Summary: This paper presents a dataset of pediatric CT images with expert contours of anatomical organ structures, aiming to assist in the evaluation and development of autosegmentation algorithms for pediatric CT imaging. The dataset can be applied in various fields such as radiation therapy, diagnostics, surgical planning, and patient-specific organ dose estimation.

Summary: This study compared the accuracy and radiation exposure between 2D and 3D fluoroscopy-guided placement of sacroiliac screws. The results showed no significant differences in screw positioning accuracy and radiation dose between the two methods. Thus, using 3D fluoroscopy does not provide advantages over 2D fluoroscopy in placing iliosacral screws.

Summary: Pelvic fractures are increasingly common and burdensome injuries in the older population. Early fixation for certain types of pelvic fractures improves outcomes, but current practice still mostly involves conservative management. There have been recent developments in surgical stabilization techniques and medical trials for fragility fractures of the pelvis. This article explores the potential of these advancements in improving the morbidity and mortality associated with these fractures.

Summary: This study investigated the effectiveness of photon-counting CT (PCCT)-derived virtual monoenergetic images (VMI) in reducing artifacts in patients with unilateral total hip replacements (THR). The results demonstrated that VMI (110keV) significantly reduced hypo- and hyperdense artifacts and achieved the best performance in bone and bladder assessment.

Summary: This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the prevalence, treatment methods, and outcomes of patients with radiation-induced fragility fractures of the pelvis (RI-FFP). The study found that RI-FFP is a rare condition, and surgical treatment can lead to good recovery outcomes.

Summary: This study investigates the use of a novel fluoroscopic view called the 150 degrees tangential fluoroscopic projection to detect the posterosuperior screw in-out-in (IOI) in the cannulated screws fixation of femoral neck fractures. The results showed that using the tangential view can effectively identify the screw position, which is important for surgical treatment.

Summary: This study presented the clinical and radiological results of using tricortical trans-iliosacral fixation options for custom-made implants in pelvic defect reconstruction. The results showed that this method provides a safe solution for stable anatomical reconstruction in challenging supra-acetabular bone loss.
