Isolated sacral fracture in pediatric age
Abstract
Fractures of the pelvis generally make up between 1% and 3% of all the fractures at a pediatric
age. Sacral fractures are the least common among fractures of the pelvis. In spite of this, this type of
fracture has to be carefully attended since it may result in sacral nerves lesions and bladder or/and
intestinal malfunctioning. The aim of this work is to show a clinical case of difficult diagnosis since
the fracture was not caused by one violent trauma but by many repeated ones, thus generating doubts
at the time of reaching a diagnosis; and to review the literature.
