Objective To explore the feasibility of the clinical application of individualized simulated S1 pedicle screw.Methods The data of patients with lumbar disease diagnosed and treated in the Fourth People’s Hospital of Zigong from May 2017 to April 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the preoperative individualized design of the S1 pedicle screw placement path, the patients were divided into individualized screw placement group and traditional screw placement group. The distance D between the screw tip and the endplate of the S1, the angle α of the screw in the plane of the dysplasia and the lumbar pedicle of the L5, the angle of oblique angle β, the number of screws of 35 and 40 mm in length, and the screw loosening rate (followed-up within 1 year) in the two groups were analyzed.Results A total of 59 patients were enrolled in this study, 31 in the individualized screw placement group and 28 in the traditional screw placement group. The differences in the distance D between the screw tip and the endplate of the S1 [(2.61±0.82) vs.(4.13±1.51) mm; t=-5.718, P<0.001], the angle α of the screw in the plane of the dysplasia and the lumbar pedicle of the L5 [(9.31±3.52) vs. (13.53±4.78)°; t=-5.646, P<0.001], the angle of oblique angle β [(15.73±6.04) vs. (10.65±5.09)°; t=3.022, P=0.004], the proportion of using screw models [40 mm in length: 56 vs. 8; 35 mm in length: 6 vs. 48; χ2=68.539, P<0.001], and the screw loosening rate followed-up within 1 year [3.22% vs. 16.07%; χ2=5.774, P<0.001] were statistically significant between the individualized screw placement group and the traditional screw placement group.Conclusions Preoperative individualized design of the pedicle screw of the S1 pedicle screw can be used in clinical practice. The biomechanical stability of the S1 pedicle screw can be improved and the sagittal balance can be achieved.
