Abstract

Sacral fractures are a treatment challenge for the orthopaedic surgeon. The relative rarity of sacral fractures limits physician exposure to these injuries and has resulted in questions regarding their optimal treatment. Proper diagnosis and classification also are subjects of considerable debate. Studies of sacral fractures have been mainly retrospective in nature and have involved heterogeneous and small patient populations. The current literature is, therefore, limited.
