The full abstract can be found at the OAR website: Safe Corridor Trajectory in Navigated Sacral Fixation This article introduces a pre-planning technique for sacral fixation using the StealthStation Surgical Navigation System, aiming to enhance safety and efficiency for surgeons, especially those new to pelvic navigation. It addresses the challenges of atypical imaging views presented by the navigation system, which can be disorienting for surgeons accustomed to traditional fluoroscopy. The described method involves planning implant trajectories on axial and coronal views after image acquisition but before intraoperative tracking, allowing for thorough evaluation of safe corridors. This strategic pre-assessment minimizes the need for extensive mental calculation during surgery and helps overcome limitations posed by difficult-to-assess imaging due to patient factors like body habitus or bone quality. The technique ultimately reduces frustration and supports the confident placement of implants.
