Purpose U-shaped sacral fractures usually result from axial loading of the spine with
simultaneous sacral pivoting due to a horizontal fracture which leads to a highly unstable …

BACKGROUND CONTEXT: The optimal classification and treatment algorithm for complex
lumbosacral injuries, in particular high-energy sacral fractures and lumbosacral dissociation …

BACKGROUND: U-shaped sacral fractures are rare and highly unstable pelvic ring
fractures. They are not recognised in the standard classification systems of these fractures …

Background Bilateral sacral fractures result in traumatic disruption of the posterior pelvic
ring. Treatment for unstable posterior pelvic ring fractures should aim for fracture reduction …

Background There is no evidence in the current literature about the best treatment option in
sacral fracture with or without neurological impairment. Materials and methods The Italian …

We describe an early reduction and percutaneous fixation technique for isolated sacral
fractures. Strong manual traction combined with manual counter-traction on the torso is used …

Background Traditional screw or plate fixation options can be used to fix the majority of
sacral fractures. However, these techniques are unreliable with dysmorphic upper sacral …

Sacral fractures with both transverse and bilateral vertical fracture components are by
definition multiplanar fractures, and often present with spinopelvic instability and cauda …

Triangular osteosynthesis involves unilateral L5 iliac posterior instrumentation combined
with an iliosacral screw fixation. The aim of this study was to describe this procedure and …

Unstable U-shaped sacral fractures and vertical shear Tile C pelvic ring disruptions are
characterized by rare lesions occurring in patients with severe trauma. Because the initial …
