  • Title: [Fractures due to sacral insufficiency].
    Author: Tordeur M, Vermer JF.
    Journal: J Belge Radiol; 1993 Jun; 76(3):157-62. PubMed ID: 8253652.
    Abstract:
    Seven instances of insufficiency fractures of the sacrum due to metabolic bone disease or secondary to pelvis radiation therapy were retrospectively reviewed. The contribution of the different investigation procedures was compared. Identification of stress fractures during clinical investigation or in the assessment of metabolic disease should enable early and adequate response and possibly prevent unnecessary biopsies.
