Abstract:
A case is reported of a sagittal fracture of the sacrum associated with diastasis of the symphysis pubis. The patient suffered no lasting neurologic injury. A literature review suggests that these vertical fractures may carry a better prognosis than other sacral fractures that involve the central canal.
