Abstract:[Objective] To propose a new reference method and related anatomical parameters for anterograde screw placement in the posterior column of the acetabulum, and to provide a basis for the design of the 3D printed guider. [Methods] The CT data of 40 adult pel- vis were collected and three-dimensional (3D) models were reconstructed by Mimics software. A cylinder was placed from the inner side of the iliac wing reaching to the posterior column and adjusted to the ideal position. The insertion point of the cylinder of the inner side of the iliac wing (A point) was set as the insertion point of the lag screw, whereas ischial tuberosity (B point) represented exiting point of lag screw. The C point was marked on the arcuate edge, which was the shortest distance to the arcuate edge from A point. In addition, the D point was marked on the most front of sacroiliac, and then the A point and C point, as well as the C point and the D point were connected. A flat square region near the posterior edge of the greater sciatic notch was found on mimics, a plane β was made parallel to this region, and a plane γ was made perpendicular to and tangent to the posterior edge of the greater sciatic notch. The distance between AC and CD, which represented the maximum radius and length of lag screw, as well as the angle between lag screw and plane β (a) and the angle between lag screw and plane γ (b) were measured. [Results] In term of gender, the males had the maximum radius and length of the screw significantly greater than the females (P<0.05) , whereas the males had significantly shorter CD segment than females (P<0.05) . However, there were no significant differences in terms of AC segment and angle a and angle b between the two genders (P>0.05) . In term of bilateral sides, there were no statistically significant differences in the maximum radius, maximum length, AC segment, CD segment, and angle a and angle b be- tween the left and right sides (P>0.05) . [Conclusion] According to the relevant anatomical data, the screw placement process will be more accurate and safe, which provides a basis for the design of 3D printed guider later.
