Abstract:
We describe the case of a 71-year-old woman who presented with persisting painful symptoms of the back and pelvis which had begun 4 weeks previously. A preceding trauma was plausibly excluded. Diagnostics showed a slightly dislocated bilateral sacral fracture with underlying osteoporosis also known as an insufficiency fracture. We performed a percutaneous and cement-augmented bilateral iliosacral joint revision using screws and 6 months after surgery, imaging showed a stable fracture with appropriate screw positions.
