Morbidity following isolated fractures of the sacrum.

There is little information in the orthopaedic literature on the long-term results following isolated fractures of the sacrum. The present study traced patients with these fractures, and attempted to identify the incidence of long-term symptoms. The study revealed that isolated fractures of the sacrum are not always benign, and may result in chronic discomfort (sacrodynia) or persistent neurological symptoms.
