TRANSVERSE FRACTURE OF THE SACRUM: A RARE COMPLICATION OF SURGICAL TREATMENT FOR SPONDYLOLISTHESIS

https://doi.org/10.14531/ss2015.3.49-54

Abstract

The paper presents three cases of sacrum fracture in the early postoperative period following surgery for L5 spondilolisthesis. The literature on sacrum fractures after surgical treatment of L5 spondylolisthesis was reviewed over the past 20 years. Risk factors and ways of prevention of this complication were analyzed.
