Abstract
Case:
A 49-year-old woman presented with left leg radiculopathy and posterior pelvic pain. Subsequent evaluation demonstrated metastatic multiple myeloma with an impending left S1 sacral fracture. Immediate posterior pelvic ring stabilization was recommended to prevent fracture and disruption of her oncologic recovery. This was performed percutaneously with computer-assisted navigation using a novel cannulated screw design.
Conclusion:
The patient was treated with prophylactic percutaneous posterior pelvic ring fixation with a novel cannulated screw design that provided a durable construct for immediate weight-bearing. The fixation prevented a pathologic fracture and allowed immediate return to activity.
