Safety, Effect and Feasibility of Percutaneous SI-Screw with and without Augmentation—A 15-Year Retrospective Analysis on over 640 Screws

Background: Minimally invasive sacroiliac-screw (SI-screw) fixation of the pelvis is used in energy trauma (Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Osteosynthesefragen (AO) classified) and fragility fractures (Fragility Fracture of the Pelvis (FFP) classified). However, available clinical data are based on small ca...

Background: Minimally invasive sacroiliac-screw (SI-screw) fixation of the pelvis is used in energy trauma (Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Osteosynthesefragen (AO) classified) and fragility fractures (Fragility Fracture of the Pelvis (FFP) classified). However, available clinical data are based on small case series and biomechanical data seem to be contradictory. Methods: The present single center retrospective cohort study investigated percutaneous SI-screw fixation and augmentation over 15 years. Groups were compared concerning the general epidemiological data, mobilization, complication rates, duration of stay, and safety of SI-screw insertion. Multivariable analyses were performed using logistic regression. Results: Between 2005 and March 2020, 448 patients with 642 inserted SI-screws were identified. Iatrogenic neurological impairment was documented in 2.47% and correlated with screw misplacement. There was an increased complication risk in patients with AO type C over patients with AO type B and in FFP II over FFP III/IV patients. Cement-augmented FFP patients showed a 25% reduced stay in hospital and a reduced complication risk. Cement-associated complications were seen in 22% without correlation to neurologic impairment. Conclusions: The present study confirms the safety and usability of percutaneous SI-screw fixation, despite specific risks. Cement augmentation seems to reduce the complication risk in FFP patients and shorten hospital stay for some reasons, without increased specific complications or correlated neurological impairment.
