A sacral prosthesis for a partial or complete sacrectomy has a central
body with a platform on a superior face thereof; first and second arms
extending superiorly and laterally from the central body, with the arms
including respective terminal portions for anchoring to a respective
ilium. The terminal portions are held spaced from one another and the
central body is suspended by the arms such that the platform is disposed
inferiorly to the terminal portions at a fixed position relative thereto.
The sacral prosthesis supports a spinal column against inferior
displacement by supporting a vertebral body with the platform, while
advantageously simultaneously preventing relative lateral displacement of
the ilia. The sacral prosthesis may advantageously be formed of a
radiolucent material.
