Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The sacral-iliac joint between an iliac and a sacrum is fused either by the creation of a lateral insertion path laterally through the ilium, through the sacral-iliac joint, and into the sacrum, or by the creation of a postero-lateral insertion path entering from a posterior iliac spine of an ilium, angling through the sacral-iliac joint, and terminating in the sacral alae. A bone fixation implant is inserted through the insertion path and anchored in the interior region of the sacrum or sacral alea to fixate the sacral-iliac joint.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method of forming a bore in the ileum, across the sacroiliac joint, and into the sacrum to receive an implant having a rectilinear cross-sectional profile, the method comprising: inserting a guide pin into the ileum, across the sacroiliac joint, and into the sacrum; disposing a drill bit over the guide pin, the drill bit having a longitudinal axis and a cross-sectional profile transverse to the longitudinal axis of the drill bit, the drill bit having a l…
