  • Title: Bilateral sacroiliac joint fracture-dislocation requiring late coccygectomy: a case report.
    Author: O'Keefe RJ, Jones JA, Hurwitz SR.
    Journal: J Trauma; 1992 Nov; 33(5):793-4. PubMed ID: 1464936.
    Abstract:
    Associated injuries often prevent aggressive management of bilateral sacroiliac fracture-dislocations, although excellent results have been reported with nonsurgical treatment. We report a case of bilateral sacroiliac joint fracture-dislocation in a patient with multiple injuries which was managed with the placement of an external fixation frame. This patient developed a prominent and painful coccyx and ultimately required a coccygectomy. The excellent final result demonstrates the therapeutic role of coccygectomy as a late treatment for this injury.
