Abstract EN
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.
This type of fractures provide a diagnostic challenge.
We report a unique case of 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 roentgenogram findings.
