Claim 0:
1. A method for stabilizing a vertebra and a pelvic region comprising a sacrum, an ilium, and a sacroiliac joint of a patient, the method comprising:
delivering an anchor into the pelvic region along a posterior sacral alar-iliac (“SAT”) trajectory such that the anchor enters a sacral ala, crosses the sacroiliac joint, and enters the ilium;
implanting an implant into the pelvic region such that the implant engages the sacrum, the sacroiliac joint and the ilium, the implant comprising a distal end, a proximal end, a longitudinal axis extending between the distal and proximal ends, an implant body extending a length between the distal and proximal ends, a first thread defined on an exterior surface of the implant body, and an anchor bore defined in the implant body and comprising a bore axis, wherein, in an implanted configuration, the anchor bore axis is coaxial with the SAT trajectory and the anchor is located within the anchor bore of the implant body so as to form a composite implant;
attaching a rod of a spinal support system to the composite implant; and
stabilizing the vertebra and the pelvic region by forming a construct comprising the composite implant, and the rod of the spinal support system.
