Abstract

During the last decade navigation techniques in pelvic and acetabular surgery have been described. Nowadays, available techniques include CT-based navigation, 2D C-arm navigation and 3D C-arm navigation. The main indication is the navigated percutaneous SI screw fixation, but acetabular screw fixations are also reported. In this article, based upon a literature review and our own clinical experiences, the indications for and limitations of navigated techniques in pelvic and acetabular surgery are described.
