Abstract

Sacral insufficiency fractures are traditionally treated with bed rest and analgesia. The importance of early rehabilitation is generally appreciated; but pain frequently delays this, resulting in prolonged hospital stay and the risk of complications related to immobility. We describe three women with sacral insufficiency fractures who were treated with percutaneous sacroiliac screws and followed up for a mean of 18 months (12 to 24). They had immediate pain relief, uncomplicated rehabilitation and uneventful healing.
