Fixation of Sacral Fractures by Posterior Plate

NCT03605797 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 24

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The sacrum is the mechanical nucleus of the axial skeleton, serving as the base for the spinal column as well as the keystone for the pelvic ring.

Sacral fractures occur in approximately 45% of all pelvic fractures. the mechanism of injury resulting in sacral fractures typically is one of high energy from motor vehicle accidents and fall from a height.

Approximately 30% of sacral fractures are identified late. Unrecognized and inadequately treated sacral fractures may lead to painful deformity and progressive loss of neurological function. Delayed surgery for posttraumatic sacral deformity is complex, and the results are often less favorable than those of early surgery. Therefore, determination of an integrated diagnostic and therapeutic approach to sacral fractures should be a goal.
