The most common cause of sacral dysmorphism is the fusion of the L5 to the true S1. In dysmorphic sacrums, the unilateral IS screw should be placed obliquely in the S1 segment, and the S2 segment usually has a sufficient OFP for the TIS screw. Using S3 TIS screw and two TIS screws in the first segment technique is not recommended because of a high risk.
