چکیده

Sacral fracture commonly results from high-energy trauma. Most insufficiency fractures of the sacrum are seen in women after the age of 70. Fractures of the sacrum are rare and generally combined with a concomitant pelvic fracture. Transverse sacral fractures are even less frequent which constitute only 3-5% of all sacral fractures.

The patient presented to our emergency department after several hours of injury, and diagnosed by clinical features and roentgenogram findings.
