  • Effectiveness of sacroiliac screw implantation assisted by three-dimensional printed faceted honeycomb guide plate in treatment of posterior pelvic ring fracture

    Objective To investigate the effectiveness of sacroiliac screw implantation assisted by three-dimensional (3D) printed faceted honeycomb guide plate in the treatment of posterior pelvic ring fracture. Methods The clinical data of 40 patients with posterior pelvic ring fractures treated with sacroiliac screw implantation between December 2019 and December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 18 cases were treated with sacroiliac screws fixation assisted by 3D printed faceted honeycomb guide plate (guide plate group), and 22 cases were treated with sacroiliac screws percutaneously fixation under fluoroscopy (conventional group). There was no significant difference in baseline data (P>0.05) such as gender, age, time from injury to operation, and Dennis classification between the two groups. The implantation time, frequency of C-arm X-ray fluoroscopy, frequency of guide pin adjustment of each sacroiliac screw, and postoperative complications and bone healing were recorded. Majeed score was used to evaluate the functional recovery at 6 months after operation, and CT was used to observe whether the screw penetrated the bone cortex. The deviation between the virtual position and the actual position of the screw tip, the sacral foramen, and the screw entry point was measured on the sagittal CT images of the guide plate group. Results The number of screws implanted in S1 and S2 vertebral bodies was 14 and 16 respectively in the guide plate group, and 17 and 18 respectively in the conventional group. The implantation time of each sacroiliac screw, the frequency of C-arm X-ray fluoroscopy, and the frequency of guide pin adjustment in S1, S2, and all vertebrae in the guide plate group were significantly less than those in the conventional group (P<0.05). Patients in both groups were followed up 8-48 months, with an average of 19.7 months. There was no incision infection, screw displacement, or internal fixation loosening in both groups. Callus growth was observed in all patients at 12 weeks after operation, and bone healing was achieved in all patients. The healing time ranged from 12 to 24 weeks, with an average of 15.7 weeks. No sacroiliac screw penetrated the bone cortex in the guide plate group; 2 patients in the conventional group had sacroiliac screws penetrating the bone cortex without damaging blood vessels or nerves. In the guide plate group, the deviation between the virtual position and the actual position of the screw tip, the sacral foramen, and the screw entry point were (2.91±1.01), (2.10±0.74), and (1.67±0.70) mm, respectively, with an average deviation of (2.19±1.22) mm. There was no significant difference in Majeed function evaluation between the two groups at 6 months after operation (P>0.05). Conclusion The application of 3D printed faceted honeycomb guide plate in sacroiliac screw implantation for posterior pelvic ring fracture can shorten the screw implantation time, reduce the frequency of fluoroscopy and guide pin adjustment, and reduce the risk of screw penetration through the bone cortex.
