AB  - Sacral  insufficiency  fractures  are  a  common,  but  often  underdiagnosed  source  of  low  back  pain  in  the  elderly  osteoporotic  patient.  Fractures  of  the  pelvis  are  a  consequence  of  undue  stress  onto  a  weakened  bone.  Osteoporosis  is  the  most  common  cause  of  fractures  of  the  pelvis.  Major  or  minor  trauma  is  another  cause;  however,  spontaneous  sacral  insufficiency  fractures  are  also  common.  The  incidence  of  sacral  insufficiency  fractures  comprises  of  approximately  1%  to  2%  of  pathologic  fractures  involving  the  spine  and  pelvis.  However,  these  fractures  are  often  misdiagnosed  and  unrecognized.  Risks  of  sacral  insufficiency  fractures  are  very  similar  to  that  of  vertebral  compression  fractures.
