Abstract:
Treatment of sacral fractures,unstable ones in particular,has attracted more and more attention.Despite numerous classification systems for sacral fractures,the commonly used ones are Denis and Tile classifications.Stable sacral fractures deserve conservative treatment,but unstable ones should be treated surgically,by operative reduction,internal fixation to reconstruct stability of the pelvis,and prevention or relief of nerve compression.There are many methods of internal fixation for unstable sacral fractures,and each has its own advantages and disadvantages.This review summarizes the progress in surgical treatment of unstable sacral fractures and makes comments on the latest surgical strategies.
