Introduction
Unstable sacroiliac joint injury treated with open reduction and internal fixation, and
ventral sacroiliac joint plating has shown promising results and outcome with such injuries.
The morphology of sacroiliac region however, has not been thoroughly studied in order to
guide the application of screws when plating the sacroiliac joint. Hence, we performed a CT
morphometric study of the sacroiliac region to determine the ideal screw trajectory and length
in order to safely apply a ventral sacroiliac plate.
Materials and methods
A total of 112 Pelvic CT images performed in the year 2017 were measured after
sagittal tilt, coronal tilt and axial rotation were adjusted. We measured sacroiliac joint angles
on both true axial and coronal planes, along with osseus thickness between sacroiliac joint
and 1st sacral foramina, vertical distance from superior sacral wall till mid level of 1st sacral
foramina and till mid level of 2nd sacral foramina respectively. All parameters were measured
up to 0.1o and 0.1mm, and statistical analysis was performed using IBM SPSS Statistics
Version 24. Independent t-test was used to determine the mean difference between sacroiliac
joint angles in axial and coronal plane by gender. Descriptive analysis of the numerical
variable was presented as mean (standard deviation).
Results
The mean sacroiliac joint angle in axial plane was 13.39o (SD 5.51), sacroiliac joint
angle in coronal plane was 14.17o (SD 3.43), mean osseous thickness between sacroiliac joint
and 1st sacral foramina was 20.80mm (SD 3.29), mean vertical distance from superior sacral
wall till 1st sacral foramina 18.67mm (SD 5.01) and till 2nd sacral foramina 42.69mm (SD
5.31) respectively. Males however showed statistically significant higher SIJ angle in coronal
plane when compared to their female counterparts with p=0.02.
Conclusion
Ventral sacroiliac joint plating would be best when done with the screw over the
sacral side inserted at an angle in the coronal plane of about 14 degrees medially, with screw
length of about 37mm, and with the screw hole of the plate not exceeding 2cm medially from
the sacroiliac joint, to minimise injury to the neural elements and to get best bony purchase. |
