Robotic Placement of 3 Trans-Sacral TransiIliac Screws Through a Single Corridor for U-Type Sacrum Fracture

Case: We present a case of robot-assisted placement of 3 trans-sacral transiliac screws through a single corridor for an unstable U-type sacral fracture in a 95-year-old woman. She had persistent pain and inability to mobilize with physical therapy. At 3-month follow-up, the patient had evidence of interval healing and stable hardware and was able to return to her prior functional baseline. Conclusion: We demonstrate successful utilization of robotics to place 3 trans-sacral transiliac screws in a single corridor for fixation of an unstable pelvic ring injury. This technique was used to overcome challenges with visualization and implant placement.
