ABSTRACT
Sacral insufficiency fractures are not uncommon cause of low back pain in elderly women with osteoporosis. The characteristics of sacral insufficiency fractures may not be related with neurological compromise. Their associated rate of neurological complication has been reported approximately 2%. The neurological complication, which is due to stretching or compression of nerve roots, is related with bony displacement.
