TIFI provides a rigid fixation for posterior ring injuries with few risks regarding iatrogenic nerve injury, avoiding different variations of upper sacral osseous anatomy or sacral dysmorphism. In addition, there is no necessity for high quality fluoroscopy for visualization of sacral foramina intraoperatively, decreasing risk of radiation exposure, unlike other methods of fixation as iliosacral screws. Our novel modification for implantation technique provides few risks for postoperative and wound complications.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00068-022-02212-6","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,24]],"date-time":"2023-01-24T17:02:52Z","timestamp":1674579772000},"page":"1535-1544","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Does minimally invasive percutaneous transilial internal fixator became an effective option for sacral fractures?
