Hazem Ahmed, Frank Gosse`

Iliac screws are a biomechanically sound method for deformity correction and stabilization of a long multi-segment lumbar constructs, which are instrumented down to S1. There is disagreement about complications and the effect on the fusion rate. The aim of the study is to analyse the safety and outcome of iliac screws.
