Canine Sacroiliac Luxation: Anatomic Study of the Craniocaudal Articular Surface Angulation of the Sacrum to Define a Safe Corridor in the Dorsal Plane for Placement of Screws used for Fixation in Lag Fashion

Abstract

A standard angle cannot be recommended for screw placement in lag fashion within the canine sacrum in the dorsal plane. Because of the narrow width of the safe corridor, preoperative measurements on radiographs are recommended and a range of angled drill guides may be useful to decrease surgeon margin of error.
