Adult spinal deformity is a primary clinical setting for the Iliac Pedicle Screw, used at the caudal end of long constructs extending from the thoracolumbar spine into the pelvis, where a stable pelvic anchor point is needed to support correction across many levels. Procurement governance matters here as much as clinical fit: NHS spine units evaluating long deformity constructs need this screw stocked reliably alongside the matched rod and other screw components, which is where Medigearuk's role as a stocking supplier matters to tender decisions.
Sacral fracture and pelvic trauma form a second setting, where iliac fixation provides an anchor point when the sacrum alone cannot support adequate fixation strength. Medigear.uk stocks both diameters across the full length range so a narrow size selection does not constrain a trauma case.
Degenerative disease with lumbosacral instability represents a third setting, particularly in cases with poor bone quality where sacral screw fixation alone may be judged insufficient and iliac anchoring adds a more robust pelvic anchor point. Medigear.uk can supply this screw alongside the Rod and other components of the 5.5mm Spinal Pedicle Screw System for these constructs.
Revision surgery makes up a fourth setting, where a surgeon extending a prior lumbar construct into the pelvis, often following a failed sacral fixation, may add iliac screws to achieve a more durable caudal anchor. Medigear.uk supports single or small-quantity ordering of this screw alongside the bulk distributor accounts it also serves, so a specialist clinic is not required to commit to trust-scale volumes to access it.
