Five male cadavers were used to evaluate anatomically structures at risk using sacral pedicle screw fixation. Risk was defined as the likelihood of penetration by K-wires placed through the pedicles and cortices at the S1, S2, and S3 levels. A scale based on the distance from the wire to the vital structure was developed to quantify risk. Instrument insertion techniques were classified as direct and lateral. The direct technique at S1 placed the left common iliac vein and the sympathetic chain at high risk. The sympathetic chain was also at high risk at the S2 and S3 levels. The lateral technique placed the lumbosacral trunk at high risk at the S1 level, as well as the S1 nerve root with screw placement at the S2 level. Anterior cortical penetration during sacral pedicle screw fixation places anatomic structures at variable risk depending on the technique used.
