Abstract:
The occult sacral fracture has no symptoms of sacral nerves injuries and no severe pain. These occult sacral fractures have no significant fracture signs on plain X-ray film, which can be found only by spiral CT or MRI and be misdiagnosed easily. This article made a brief review on the diagnosis and treatment of this type of sacral fractures.
