The incidence of fragility fractures of the sacrum is increasing due to demographic changes. In this study, we introduce the 3D-navigated monoportal percutaneous sacroiliac screw fixation (PSS) as a t...
A wide array of tumors can occur in the sacrum. Benign tumors include giant cell tumors (60%), aneurysmal bone cysts (4%), and osteoblastomas [1]. Malignant tumors of the sacrum include chordomas (50%...
The increasing prevalence of fragility fractures of the sacrum (FFS) occurring predominantly in osteoporotic individuals poses a diagnostic and therapeutic
Fragility fractures of the sacrum (FFS) have been detected more and more frequently in recent times, and the incidence will continue to increase due to inc
Reconstruction after total sacrectomy has always been challenging since an effective and durable reconstruction would demand spinal pelvic fixation (SPF), posterior pelvic ring fixation (PPRF), and an...
A fracture of the sacrum at the level of the first and second segments, with forward displacement of the first segment, is a very rare injury in adolescent
Patients suffering from osteoporosis-associated fragility fractures of the sacrum (FFS; also termed sacral insufficiency fractures) are increasingly observ
Twenty-two patients with primary tumors of the sacrum were surgically treated between 1983 and 1997. Seventeen male and 5 female patients were followed up
The increasing prevalence of fragility fractures of the sacrum (FFS) occurring predominantly in osteoporotic individuals poses a diagnostic and therapeutic
Displaced fractures of the sacrum are often asso-ciated with mechanical instability and neurologic deficits that cause late musculoskeletal problems and pa
The sacrum is composed of bone, cartilage, soft mesenchymal tissue, bone marrow, and notochordal remnants, which give rise to tumors or pseudotumors. Tumors of the sacrum include primary and metastati...
Reconstruction after total sacrectomy has always been challenging since an effective and durable reconstruction would demand spinal pelvic fixation (SPF), posterior pelvic ring fixation (PPRF), and an...
This study aims to investigate the fusion rate and complications associated with trans-sacral interbody fusion (TSIF) in long fusions to the sacrum for adu
Twenty-two patients with primary tumors of the sacrum were surgically treated between 1983 and 1997. Seventeen male and 5 female patients were followed up
Latin for “sacred bone” and so named for its recurrent role in ancient Greek and Egyptian mythology [1], the os sacrum remains the subject of much discourse and scholarship in modern-day musculoskelet...
Primary malignant tumors of the sacrum are rare [1–3]. The most frequent are chordomas followed by hematologic neoplasms, osteosarcomas, Ewing’s sarcomas, and in very rare cases, chondrosarcomas [3]. ...
Long spinal deformity fusions in elderly patients continue to be controversial. However, there is a growing population of elderly patients with spinal defo
Little is known about the effects of posterior tethers on the development of proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK). We evaluated the ability of posterior tethers to the proximal motion segment stiffness ...
