Abstract
OBJECTIVE S2-alar-iliac (S2AI) screw technique is widely used in spinal surgery, but it is rarely seen in the field of spinal tumors. The aim of the study is to report the preliminary outcomes of the freehand S2AI screw fixation after lumbosaral tumor resection. METHODS The records of patients with lumbosacral tumor who underwent S2AI screw fixation between November 2016 to November 2020 at our center were reviewed retrospectively. Outcome measures included operative time, blood loss, complications, accuracy of screws, screw breach, and overall survival. Mean ± standard deviation or range was used to present continuous variables. Kaplan-Meier curve was used to present postoperative survival. RESULTS A total of 23 patients were identified in this study, including 12 males and 11 females, with an average age of 47.3 ± 14.5 (range,15-73). The mean operation time was 224.6 ± 54.1 (range, 155-370 min). The average estimated blood loss was 1560.9 ± 887.0 (600-4000 ml). A total of 46 S2AI screws were implanted by freehand technique. CT scans showed three (6.5%) screws had penetrated the iliac cortex, indicating 93.5% implantation accuracy rate. No complications of iatrogenic neurovascular or visceral structure were observed. The average follow-up time was 31.6 ± 15.3 months (range, 13-60 months). Two patients' postoperative plain radiography showed lucent zone around the screw. One patient underwent reoperation for wound delayed infection. At the latest follow-up, eight patients had tumor-free survival, 11 had survival with tumor, and four died of disease. CONCLUSION The freehand S2AI screw technique is reproducible, safe, and reliable in the management of lumbosacral spinal tumors.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES As a new pelvic fixation technique, the dual S2AI screws fixation technique could provide highly stable distal strength, and have wide clinical prospect in the correction of severe kyphoscoliosis. However, the ideal trajectory parameters, indications and clinical outcomes of this technique have not been reported so far. This study aimed to determine the anatomical parameters of dual S2AI screws in the normal Chinese adult population, investigating the indications of this technique and evaluating the feasibility and clinical outcomes. METHODS Fifteen males and 15 females with normal pelvis underwent a pelvic CT scan to determine ideal dual S2AI screws trajectories. Sagittal angle (SA), transverse angle (TA), maximal length (ML), sacral length, and skin distance were measured. Subsequently, we retrospectively reviewed the data of 16 patients (seven males and nine females) who underwent dual S2AI screw fixation and 23 patients who underwent single S2AI screw fixation between January 2014 and December 2019. Preoperative, postoperative, and latest follow-up measurements of Cobb angle, coronal balance (CB), spinal pelvic obliquity (SPO), and regional kyphosis (RK) were obtained. The mean follow-up time was 16.7 ± 7.1 months (range: 12-30 months). Independent t-test was used to determine the difference in the analysis of the trajectories. The paired sample non-parametric Wilcoxon test was performed to assess the changes in radiographic parameters between different time points and different groups. RESULTS For both male and females, the proximal S2AI screws had significantly higher TA and ML, but a lower SA than distal screws. Females showed significantly more caudal (SA: 25.03° ± 2.32° vs. 29.82° ± 2.47°, t = 7.742, P < 0.001) trajectories of distal screw. Additionally, ML in the females were significantly shorter than that in males (106.81 mm ± 6.79 mm vs. 101.63 mm ± 6.55 mm, t = 3.007, P = 0.003, 124.41 mm ± 7.57 mm vs. 116.23 mm ± 7.03 mm, t = 4.337, P < 0.001). Eight had unilateral and eight had bilateral dual S2AI screw placement. Respectively, both the single S2AI and dual S2AI groups showed significant postoperative improvement of Cobb angle, RK angle and SPO angle. In patients with dual S2AI screws fixation, two patients found that screws loosening occurred in one of dual screws at 1-year follow-up, and in patients with single S2AI screws fixation, six patients found screw loosing as well as two patients found screw breakage at 1-year follow-up. None of all patients had any prominent loss of correction. CONCLUSION The ideal trajectory of dual S2AI screw could be well established. The dual S2AI screw fixation technique is feasible in patients with severe kyphoscoliosis, and provides satisfactory correction of deformity with few postoperative complications.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare the outcomes of sacropelvic fixation (SPF) using sacral-2-alar iliac (S2AI) screw with SPF using iliac screw (IS). METHODS A comprehensive search of PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials and Scopus was performed for comparative studies between S2AI and IS for SPF. Two independent investigators selected qualified studies and extracted data indispensably. With 95% confidence intervals (CI), the odds ratio (OR) was applied to dichotomous outcomes and standardized mean difference (SMD) was applied to continuous outcomes for each item. RESULTS We included data from thirteen studies involving 722 patients (S2AI, 357 patients; IS, 365 patients). In the pediatric population, the S2AI group had a smaller pelvic obliquity (PO) than the IS group at final follow-up (SMD, - 0.38; 95% CI, - 0.72 to - 0.04). Patients who underwent S2AI screws showed reduced rates of re-operation (S2AI, 13%; IS, 28%), implant failure (S2AI, 12%; IS, 26%) [screw loosening (S2AI, 8%; IS, 20%); screw breakage (S2AI, 2%; IS, 12%)], implant prominence (S2AI, 2%; IS, 14%), pseudarthrosis (S2AI, 3%; IS, 15%), wound infection (S2AI, 8%; IS, 22%) and less blood loss (S2AI, 2035.4 ml; IS, 2708.4 ml). CONCLUSION Radiological outcomes indicate an effective maintenance of the correction and arrest of progression of deformity by S2AI, which is equal or better than IS. SPF with S2AI screw has obviously lower incidence of postoperative complications and less blood loss. Given these advantages, the S2AI screw seems to be a beneficial alternative to IS.
