Figure A shows an intraoperative outlet view, which provides the best visualization of the neural foramina (and possible screw placement into these foramina). This view provides information regarding cephalad-caudad placement of the screw, whereas the inlet view provides information regarding the anterior-posterior position of the screw. The lateral sacral view provides information regarding the sagittal curvature of the sacral ala and gives information regarding possible iatrogenic L5 nerve injury as it goes over the sacral ala. The referenced article by Routt et al is a review article regarding the safety and techniques of percutaneous pelvic ring fixation.
