This spine surgery lecture covers iliac-sacral fixation options in spinal deformity correction surgery. It begins with a description of the indications in the paediatric patients. The techniques used in neuromuscular scoliosis are described, followed by the constructs which are held at the base without a screw, with clinical examples. The iliosacral screw fixation techniques covered include S1 screw, S2 pedicle screw, S1 alar and S2 alar iliac screws. These techniques are described with help of anatomical models, diagrams and radiographs. A detailed note on image guide placement is also included.
