Résumé

Exact knowledge of the sacral anatomy is crucial for the percutaneous insertion of iliosacral screws. However, dysplastic anatomical patterns are common. In addition to a preoperative computed tomography (CT) analysis, conventional radiographic measures may help to identify upper sacral dysplasia and to avoid damage to surrounding structures. Aiming to further increase safety in percutaneous iliosacral screw placement in the presence of sacral dysmorphism, this study examined the prevalence of previously established radiographic signs and, in addition, defined the "critical SI angle" as a new radiographic criterion. Pelvic CT scans of 98 consecutive trauma patients were analysed. Next to assessment of established signs indicating upper sacral dysplasia, the critical sacroiliac (SI) angle was defined in standardized pelvic outlet views. The critical SI angle significantly correlates with the presence of mammillary bodies and an intraarticular vacuum phenomenon. With a cut-off value of - 14.2°, the critical SI angle detects the feasibility of a safe iliosacral screw insertion in pelvic outlet views with a sensitivity of 85.9% and a specificity of 85.7%. The critical SI angle can support the decision-making when planning iliosacral screw fixation. The clinical value of the established signs of upper sacral dysplasia remains uncertain.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Exact knowledge of the sacral anatomy is crucial for the percutaneous insertion of iliosacral screws. However, dysplastic anatomical patterns are common. In addition to a preoperative computed tomography (CT) analysis, conventional radiographic measures may help to identify upper sacral dysplasia and to avoid damage to surrounding structures. Aiming to further increase safety in percutaneous iliosacral screw placement in the presence of sacral dysmorphism, this study examined the prevalence of previously established radiographic signs and, in addition, defined the "critical SI angle" as a new radiographic criterion.
METHODS METHODS
Pelvic CT scans of 98 consecutive trauma patients were analysed. Next to assessment of established signs indicating upper sacral dysplasia, the critical sacroiliac (SI) angle was defined in standardized pelvic outlet views.
RESULTS RESULTS
The critical SI angle significantly correlates with the presence of mammillary bodies and an intraarticular vacuum phenomenon. With a cut-off value of - 14.2°, the critical SI angle detects the feasibility of a safe iliosacral screw insertion in pelvic outlet views with a sensitivity of 85.9% and a specificity of 85.7%.
CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSIONS
The critical SI angle can support the decision-making when planning iliosacral screw fixation. The clinical value of the established signs of upper sacral dysplasia remains uncertain.
