The Galveston technique of pelvic fixation with L-rod instrumentation of the spine.

Abstract

From April 1978 to October 1982, the authors performed 44 pelvic fixations as part of L-rod instrumentation of a spinal deformity. Thirty scoliosis and revision scoliosis cases with a minimum of 1 year follow-up were analyzed for changes of the instrumentation with respect to the pelvis, angular changes at the lumbosacral junction, radiolucency about the portions of the rods providing pelvic fixation, and success of lumbosacral fusion. The technique for fixation was different among three groups of patients. A pelvic fixation technique in which the pelvic segments of the rods were longer than 6 cm, completely intraosseous through their iliac course, and within 1.5 cm of the sciatic notch, yielded the best results.
