Chair: David Polly, MD
In this symposium, faculty will discuss available fixation options and their alternatives, address the biomechanics of loading at the lumbosacral junction and define the optimal length and diameter for S2-AI screws.
Upon completion of this session, participants should gain strategies to:
- List available fixation options and their alternatives;
- Describe the biomechanics of loading at the lumbosacral junction;
- Define optimal length and diameter for S2AI screws.
