Prevalence and severity of sacral dysmorphism and implications for safe transsacral screw placement in the Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australian population: A retrospective matched cohort study

Indigenous Australian patients exhibited more severe forms of sacral dysmorphism when compared to their non-Indigenous counterparts. Additionally the overall prevalence of sacral dysmorphism across this Australian population was amongst the highest reported in the literature. This may present significant technical challenges and warrants consideration when performing percutaneous iliosacral screw fixation.
