Description

<p>　　In this study, we report the outcomes of surgical treatment in patients with Denis zone III sacral fracture at our center. A consecutive series of 7 patients (average age 38.4 years) with Denis zone III fractures treated surgically over a 5-year period was studied. The cause of injury in all 7 cases was a fall from a height. The average injury severity score was 26.7. Pelvic ring fixation without decompression was performed for all the patients. The time until final follow up was an average of 14.4 months. All the fractures healed eventually. Initial Gibbons classification scores averaged 3.1 and decreased to 1.8. Thus, surgical treatment of Denis zone III sacral fractures was effective ; however, decompression might not be necessary in the acute phase.</p>
