S2 Alar-iliac Fixation: A Powerful Procedure for the Treatment of Kyphoscoliosis.

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to introduce a powerful technique for the treatment of kyphoscoliosis. There are currently multiple techniques for sacropelvic fixation, including trans-iliac bars and iliac and iliosacral screws. Several studies have documented the use of these instrumentation techniques; however, a ubiquitous problematic issue concerns the need for separate incisions for the use of offset connectors, which add to surgical time and morbidity. Any additional dissection of the skin, subcutaneous tissue or muscle in this area is believed to increase the incidence of complications of wound healing. However, as stated above, the above-mentioned techniques require separate incisions for the use of offset connectors, which add to surgical time and morbidity. The novel technique of S
