Core Tip
Core tip: Computer-assisted navigation is a technology used in minimally invasive spinal surgery. It provides advantages such as rapid recovery and minimal trauma. Here, we discuss the indications, contraindications, surgical procedures, and related complications during percutaneous screw fixation for the treatment of sacral fractures, sacroiliac-joint injuries, pelvic ring injuries, and acetabular fractures. The advantages of navigation in the treatment of pelvic fracture are clarified. At the same time, paying attention to navigational drift is also reminded.
