    Author: Peris P, Guañabens N, Pons F, Herranz R, Monegal A, Surís X, Muñoz-Gómez J.
    Journal: Ann Rheum Dis; 1993 Jul; 52(7):545-7. PubMed ID: 8346984.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the clinical evolution of sacral stress fractures in relation to the scintigraphic pattern and the presence of additional pelvic fractures. METHODS: This was a retrospective study of 14 patients with sacral fractures. RESULTS: Six patients had additional pelvic fractures. Four bone scintigraphic patterns were found. The resolution of symptoms was longer in patients with associated pelvic fractures (30 weeks v three weeks). No relation was found between the bone scintigraphic pattern and the time of evolution. CONCLUSION: Associated pelvic fractures delay the resolution of symptoms in patients with sacral fractures, regardless of scintigraphic pattern.
