Abstract:
Displaced fractures of the upper sacrum are a rare type of high energy injury, such as a fall, with similar neurological symptoms and fracture patterns. The authors treated 4 patients with these fracture patterns surgically or conservatively and followed them up for at least 1 year. We report these 4 cases with a review of the relevant literature.
