The aim of this retrospective study is to evaluate patients with vertically unstable high-energy sacral fracture operated on at our institution with spinopelvic fixation, to compare the traditionally open method of fixation with the minimally invasive fixation. The aim of the research is to determine whether minimally invasive surgical techniques can achieve comparable fracture reduction and functional outcome as open surgical approaches. Another aim is to determine whether the minimally invasive surgical procedure leads to shorter patient hospitalization, lower perioperative blood loss, and lower postoperative complications.
