Cross-sectional geometry of the sacral ala for safe insertion of iliosacral lag screws: a computed tomography model.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE:To measure the dimensions of the narrowest portion of the sacral ala for safe insertion of iliosacral lag screws. DESIGN:Computed tomography (CT) model. SETTING:Level One trauma center. PATIENTS:Thirteen adult patients underwent pelvic CT imaging. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE:Axial CT scans of intact pelves were reformatted in the sagittal plane at three-millimeter intervals from the first sacral body (S1 body) to the sacroiliac (SI) joint. Computer analysis and measurements of sacral geometry were used to determine the narrowest portion of the bony sacral ala. The maximum height, maximum width, and slope of the sacral ala through its geometric center in cross-section were measured. RESULTS:The narrowest portion of the sacral ala in all patients was consistently located at the junction between the sacral body and the alar wings, termed the sacral pedicle, directly cephalad to the first sacral foramen. The average slope of the sacral ala at the sacral pedicle was 45.08 degrees (range 25 to 65 degrees). The average maximum height at the geometric center in cross-section was 27.76 millimeters, and the average width was 28.05 millimeters. However, outside the geometric center there was a sharp decrease in height and width of the sacral ala that was in large part determined by its relative slope. CONCLUSION:Although the cross-sectional geometry of the sacral ala is highly variable among patients, there is ample space for iliosacral screws. To ensure safe insertion, iliosacral lag screws must be positioned in the geometric center of the sacral ala to avoid extraosseous placement.
