  • Title: Fatigue fracture of the sacrum in an adolescent.
    Author: Patterson SP, Daffner RH, Sciulli RL, Schneck-Jacob SL.
    Journal: Pediatr Radiol; 2004 Aug; 34(8):633-5. PubMed ID: 15221238.
    Abstract:
    There are relatively few reports of sacral stress fractures in children. In adolescents, sacral stress fractures have been reported in patients involved in vigorous athletic activity. Recognition of these fractures is important to avoid unnecessary biopsy if the findings are confused with tumor or infection. We report a sacral fatigue fracture in a 15-year-old without a history of athletic participation or trauma.
