Pinhole effect and manual bowel gas displacement: Simple two tricks for better fluoroscopy imaging in iliosacral screw fixation

Abstract

Introduction: Presently written abstract. Material and Methods: Total 50 out of 75 patients with pelvic fractures were managed with ilio-sacral screws. Results: At mean followup of 18 months non had iatrogenic injuries and ilio sacral screws were well within bony corridors. Conclusion: The use of pin hole effect and manual displacement of bowel gas shadows can reduce the margin of error while passing percutaneous iliosacral screws.
