Isolated Transverse Sacrum Fracture: A Case Report

Sacral fractures are usually occurs following high-energy trauma. Most fractures of the sacrum are occur in women after age 70 years. 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. This type of fractures provide a diagnostic challenge. We report an isolated transverse fracture of sacrum in a young man sustained low-energy trauma. The patient presented to our emergency department after several hours of injury, and diagnosed by clinical features and radiography findings.
