• Iliac screws require an additional incision for placement.
• The procedure may decrease the volume of autogenous bone graft.
• The procedure requires cumbersome offset connectors (Figure 25-17).
• The procedure may cause pain because of prominence.
• The procedure requires removal in 22% of the patients (Tsuchiya et al, 2006).
Procedure 25  | Sacropelvic Fixation    249
n
Technique
• The starting point is slightly anterior to the PSIS. Figure 25-15 shows the intraoperative starting point of iliac screws over the posterior superior iliac spine.
• Two trajectories can then be taken for the screw direction. One trajectory is directed toward the superior portion of the acetabulum (Figure 25-16,
A
). Another path is directed toward the AIIS (Figure 25-16,
Path B
). The latter is preferred, because there is a lower risk for violation of the acetabulum and longer screws can be used. The trajectory is 25 degrees lateral and 30 degrees caudal. Fluoroscopy can be helpful in placement of iliac screws.
• The screw length is typically at least 80 mm, with a diameter of 7 to 8 mm.

• Partially burying the S1 screws allows ease of insertion of the bar into the iliac crest.
• Adding a gentle bend to the bar avoids impingement on the spinal canal.

• Sacral insufficiency fractures develop in osteoporotic patients. The mode of failure appears to be a shear/ compression fracture at or below the S1 pedicle screws.
• Connectors can be cumbersome to place.
• There is a high rate of implant removal secondary to pain.

Procedure F: Transilial Bar

n
In the 1960s, Harrington devised a sacral bar. At that time fixation to the bar
was by hooks only, which did not control rotational stresses or flexion extension as well. Kostuik (1988) subsequently modified the Harrington sacral bar moments by using a transiliac bar fixed to S1 pedicle screws, to which proximal longitu­dinal members could be connected (Figure 25-18). Sacropelvic fixation using the transilial bar technique is an easy and effective method of achieving pelvic anchorage in long posterior spinal fusions but is not recommended without the use of anterior column support.
n
Technique
• The starting point is 1 to 2 cm anterior to both the posterior superior iliac spines.
• Regarding direction, the transilial bar is inserted in a retrograde fashion (inside–out method) to one iliac wing, then passed through both tables of the other iliac wing in a similar fashion. The bar is then attached to the S1 pedicle screws and subsequently attached to the rest of the construct.

Procedure G: S2 Alar Iliac Screws (S2AI)

n
Pelvic fixation using the S2 alar iliac technique was described by Kebaish (2010)
and by Sponseller and colleagues (2010) in the adult and pediatric populations, respectively. Use of the S2 alar iliac technique may address some of the issues with spinopelvic fixation. S2AI screws do not require a separate fascial or skin incision or the use of offset connectors. Placement of S2AI screws does not interfere with iliac crest harvest, while allowing the use of longer screws than the iliac bolts allow. The solid pelvic anchor provided by the S2AI technique allows performing corrective procedures at the lumbosacral junction, such as S1 and L5 osteotomies, thus achieving more linear correction of the sagittal vertical axis, and hence better sagittal restoration of sagittal balance.
n
Technique (authors’ preference)
• The starting point is midway between the first and second sacral foramina (Figures 25-19 and 25-20).
• Screw direction
The trajectory is aimed lateral, approximately 40 degrees to the horizontal
plane and 20 to 30 degrees caudal, depending on the pelvic tilt. Figure
25-21 is a schematic representation of the S2AI screw direction in differ-
ent planes—transverse (Figure 25-21, A), coronal (Figure 25-21, B), and sagittal plane (Figure 25-21, C ).

• Insertion of S1 screws first will ensure a starting point that allows in-line rod placement.
• Using the greater trochanter as a landmark allows safe placement without fluoroscopy in most patients.
Figure 25-22 is an intraoperative view
showing the direction of drilling of the S2AI screw toward the greater trochanter, which may be felt by the surgeon’s opposite hand.
• Tap drilling and ensuring there is a hard end point during advancement of the drill will prevent violation of the cortices of the ilium.
• Placing a guidewire after the initial drilling could minimize the use of a C-arm and guarantee a correct trajectory.
• A teardrop view will guarantee a correct trajectory in difficult pelvic anatomy (Figure 25-23, A).
• Keeping the screw pathway just above the greater sciatic notch allows the biggest screw diameter (Figure 25-23,
B)
• Partially burying the screw head to avoid prominence allows, on average, 15-mm deeper implants than with iliac screws.
• S2AI screws can be placed percutaneously by a minimally invasive approach (Figure 25-24).
Figure 25-25 shows postoperative
radiography of double S2AI screws.
FIGURE 25-22 
Fluoroscopy is helpful but not always necessary; an anteroposterior view
showing the pelvis and the sciatic notch is most beneficial.
The path of the drill should be within 20 mm proximal to the greater sciatic
notch and aimed toward the AIIS.
A 2.5-mm drill is used initially through the sacral ala, and once the SI joint
is crossed, a 3.2-mm drill is used to guard against breakage.
A teardrop C-arm view, at this stage, helps ensure the anteroposterior
trajectory within the thickest part of the ilium, without cortical breach.
n
A polyaxial screw of an average 80 to 100 mm is used; the diameter is usually
8 to 10 mm, but never less than 8 mm to avoid screw breakage.

• Lateral cortical penetration is the most common misplacement.
• There appears to be no significant effect on the SI joint at 2 years; however, the long-term effect of violating the SI joint is unknown, and longer follow up may be needed.

• Wound suction drains should be used.
• External immobilization is usually not required, because the rigidity of the fixation allows early patient ambulation.

Postoperative Care and Expected Outcomes

Complications of Pelvic Fixation
n
Misplacement and injuries to adjacent structures
• Injuries to structures in the sciatic notch, including the superior gluteal artery and the sciatic nerve, are rare.
• This complication can be avoided by paying close attention to the anatomy of the pelvis and using external bony landmarks. Some clinicians advocate placing a finger or a blunt instrument in the notch, although doing so would require additional dissection.
• Fluoroscopy can also be very helpful, especially in patients with unusual anatomy, and until the surgeon becomes more experienced with the procedure.
• Maintenance of a bony end point and the correct measurement, and choice of the screw size, will avoid medial or lateral cortical violation.
n
Implant prominence and loosening
• Implant prominence is a major challenge in small patients and in those with compromised soft tissues, as is the case with children with neuromuscular deformities.
• Loosening continues to be a problem with the Galveston technique but appears to be less common with S2AI and iliac screws. It may not cause symptoms, especially if the fusion is already complete.
n
Wound complications and infection
• Techniques requiring extensive surgical exposure are associated with a higher risk of wound complications, including infection.
• One study (Tsuchiya et al, 2006) of 81 patients treated with iliac screw fixa­tion reported a 4% infection rate.
• A recent study (Sponseller et al, 2010) found no wound infection in 27 chil­dren who underwent pelvic fusion with the sacral alar iliac technique. This finding may have been related to the minimum dissection needed with this procedure, which preserved the soft tissue envelope.
n
Nonunion and implants failure
• If fusion does not happen in a timely manner, fixation failure is destined to occur, possibly from implant breakage or loosening.
• These two problems often occur together; no matter how strong the fixation is, the patient’s biology plays a role in achieving a solid fusion.

• A far lateral disk herniation (FLDH) associated with adjacent canal stenosis at the level above
• Monoradicular symptoms (denoting isolated far lateral disk herniation) versus multiradicular symptoms (denoting a far lateral disk associated with medially located pathologies, including degenerative changes, canal stenosis, or central disk herniations)
Indications
n
Intractable radiculopathy resistant to conservative measures
n
Unilateral, single-level, nerve root compression lateral to the neuroforamen
n
Far lateral disk herniation confirmed by computed tomography (CT) scan or
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI): nucleus pulposus herniates beyond the intervertebral foramen, or at least two-thirds lateral to the vertebral pedicle (Papavero and Caspar, 1993).
n
Absence of segmental instability, facet incompetence, or additional pathologies,
that is, spinal stenosis or associated central disk herniation
n
Radiculopathy correlating with radiographic evidence of far lateral disk hernia-
tion (FLDH) compressing the symptomatic exiting nerve root

Examination/Imaging

n
Presentation
• Occurs most often in patients greater than 40 years of age
• Slight male predominance
• Most commonly affects upper lumbar roots (e.g., anterior thigh pain) although can affect any level
• Exiting nerve root affected rather than traversing nerve root
• Lower limb pain predominates over low back pain
• Pain referred to the knee can be mistaken for primary hip or knee pathology.
n
Physical examination
• Limitation of flexion/extension, lumbar list, antalgic gait
• Neurologic signs (sensory, motor, or both); L2 = groin/medial thigh; L3 = anterior thigh; L4 = anterolateral thigh/medial leg; L5 = dorsal foot
• Diminished or absent deep tendon reflex
• Reproduction of symptoms by lateral bending to the side of the lesion
• Positive nerve tension tests: femoral nerve stretch and the Lasegue sign (depending on level of herniation)
• Muscular atrophy
• Paravertebral point tenderness (intertransverse membrane level)
• Bowel/bladder dysfunction is not typically present.

Surgical Anatomy

n
Anatomic definition: Far lateral, extraforaminal, or extreme lateral disk hernia-
tion denotes a disk hernia occurring lateral to the neuroforamen and the facet joint complex (Figure 26-2). The herniated disk fragment usually compresses the exiting nerve root and displaces it superiorly and laterally under tension.
n
Because of its anatomic location (Figure 26-3, A), unlike the posterolateral
herniated nucleus pulposus (HNP), which affects the traversing nerve root (Figure 26-3, B), FLDH affects the exiting nerve root at the same level.
n
The anatomic boundaries of the “operative window” or “surgical corridor” for
the intertransverse lateral approach (Figure 26-4) are
• Superiorly: the lower edge of the pedicle and the superior transverse process
• Medially: the pars interarticularis
• Inferiorly: the facet joint and superior border of the inferior transverse process
