INTRODUCTION: @entity530 is known as a surgical option in young @entity1 suffering from severe @entity572 . In most @entity1 , implant removal is performed after bony consolidation. Due to the pelvic anatomy, the conventional technique is often associated with soft-tissue damage and high X-ray exposure. Recent developments in the field of computer-assisted surgery may offer new alternatives. The aim of this case report was to investigate the feasibility of a fluoroscopy-supported navigation system for the implant removal after a @entity530 . MATERIALS AND METHODS: Using the BrainLAB-VectorVision, a fluoroscopy-enhanced navigation system, implants were removed in a 24-year-old female @entity1 14 months after a @entity530 . RESULTS: The navigation system showed a high feasibility in the instrument visualisation and implant localisation. The screws could be precisely located, simultaneously in different X-ray planes. The total X-ray exposure time was low, totalling 17 s. CONCLUSION: Initial experiences are very promising and show impressively the advantages of fluoroscopy-supported navigation for minimally invasive implant removal. A considerably reduced X-ray exposure for @entity1 and surgeon is possible. The removal of the inserted screw is possible through a stitch incision, with reduced OR @entity130 and a quicker reconvalescence.
