William Pommersheim, Frank R. Huang‐Hellinger, Michael D. Baker, Pearse P Morris

Abstract

Sacral insufficiency fracture is a debilitating injury for which no active treatment is currently available. We present three consecutive cases of elderly patients with sacral insufficiency fractures whose symptoms were relieved immediately by treatment of the fractures by polymethylmethacrylate injections, a so-called sacroplasty.
