At the cornerstone of the pelvis and spine, the sacrum may be fractured in patients of all ages. Sacral fractures range from high-energy injuries, with mortality rates of up to 18%, to low-energy insufficiency fractures. The intricate geometry of the sacrum, the breadth of morphotypes, and the presence of congenital anomalies all can complicate the treatment of these fractures. Agreement on the surgical indications for these injuries is limited. This narrative review aims to update orthopedic surgeons on the clinical evaluation and the non-surgical and surgical management of these fractures.
作为骨盆和脊柱的基石,骶骨在各个年龄段的患者中都可能发生骨折。骶骨骨折范围从高能量损伤(死亡率高达18%)到低能量不全骨折。骶骨复杂的几何形状、多种形态类型以及先天性异常的存在都会使这些骨折的治疗变得复杂。对于这些损伤的手术适应症,目前尚未达成广泛共识。本叙述性综述旨在向骨科医生介绍这些骨折的临床评估以及非手术和手术治疗方法。
