In children, pelvic fractures are not common, and therefore, sacral fractures are a rare occurrence. Sacral fractures are often associated with neurologic deficit. Using radiographs alone may not be adequate to diagnose sacral fractures, and computed tomography scanning and/or magnetic resonance imaging may be needed. Treatment of the sacral fracture is often controversial and can range from nonoperative management to surgical intervention. This article presents a case report of completely…

Paediatric pelvic fractures – an updated literature review

Historically, pelvic fractures have been treated conservatively, but this trend is changing with a better understanding of the pelvis' inability to remodel significant deformity, as well as new techniques for operative fixation.

Neurological Outcome After Traumatic Transverse Sacral Fractures: A Systematic Review of 521 Patients Reported in the Literature

There was a low level of evidence that fixation of the fracture results in better neurological improvement compared with isolated decompression, and a comparison of the neurological outcome of nonoperatively treated patients and surgically treated patients showed similar neurological recovery rates.

It is suggested that NT‐3 may be an osteogenic and angiogenic factor upstream of BMP‐2 and VEGF in bony repair, and further studies are required to investigate whether NT‐ 3 may be a potential target for preventing growth plate faulty bony Repair or for promoting bone fracture healing.

It is shown that sacrum fractures, not an easy diagnosis, may be more frequent than currently assumed, and that in quite a number of children and adolescents an anterior pelvic fracture may in fact be an unrecognized Malgaigne type pelvic fracture with a posterior fracture plane cutting through the sacrum.

[An isolated sacral fracture and a fracture dislocation in two pediatric patients].

Two children, aged eight and 12 years, presented with an isolated sacral type III fracture and a fracture dislocation, respectively, both of which were not associated with any neurologic problems and demonstrated a high remodeling potential in children for spontaneous healing.

Anteriorly displaced transverse fractures of the sacrum in adolescents: report of two cases

It is considered that unstable fractures of the sacrum may be treated surgically, by extensive laminectomies of the lumbosacral area and posterolateral fusion, and stabilization of the displaced fracture is possibly preferable.

Transverse fracture of the second sacral vertebra: description of a clinical case.

A rare case of transverse fracture of the second sacral vertebra that was isolated, with neurologic deficit, and treated conservatively by reduction opposing the trauma mechanism, and immobilization in plaster is believed to be a valid one as an alternative to surgery, which is difficult, and not without complications.

Operative treatment of a transverse fracture-dislocation at the S1-S2 level.

Surgical treatment for a multiply injured patient who sustained a rare fracture-dislocation at the S1-S2 level proved successful, and the patient experienced marked improvement in her postoperative neurologic function.

Close reduction allowed a satisfactory, although not complete, restoration of the sagittal alignment at the lumbosacral junction, and the choice of a conservative approach may be a successful alternative in the management of sacral fracture‐dislocations in children.
