Finite element analysis of long SI screws in the treatment of vertically unstable bilateral sacral fractures
SI screws in dual-segment provide better biomechanical stability than those in the single-segment. Both the L1T2 and T1T2 groups demonstrate good biomechanical stability and are reliable for the fixation of vertically unstable bilateral sacral fractures. When a TITS screw cannot be inserted in the S1 segment, using a long SI screw in S1 combined with a TITS screw in S2 can achieve a comparable fixation effect.
