A surgical method is for at least one ilium having an iliac crest and inner and outer tables on opposing sides of the iliac crest. The method may include inserting at least one base into the ilium, where the at least one base has a channel therein. The method may further include inserting a support member through the ilium and through the channel of the at least one base so that the support member extends between the inner and outer tables, and securing the support member to the at least one base.
