Abstract
As the population is increasing in age, so increases the number of osteoporotic fractures. U-shaped sacral fractures can be difficult to diagnose and may be a source of disability in patients when left untreated. Many patients with osteoporotic fractures are of advanced age and may experience rapid medical decline when these fractures cause immobility. We present surgical options for U-shaped sacral fracture management.
