Surgery approaches for severe sacral bone fractures
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study compares two surgical methods—traditional open surgery versus minimally invasive surgery—for treating serious sacral fractures (breaks in the lowest bone of the spine). Researchers want to see which approach leads to better healing and fewer complications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You were at least 18 years old when you were injured
- You had a confirmed serious sacral fracture (lowest spine bone) that was unstable and required surgery
- You had lumbopelvic fixation surgery (spine-to-pelvis stabilization) between 2016 and 2024
- Your medical records include preoperative and postoperative imaging (X-rays or CT scans) and surgical notes
- You have at least 12 months of follow-up care after surgery

This study looks at how to best surgically fix unstable pelvic and acetabular (hip socket) fractures, comparing different operative approaches. You might benefit if your goal is stable healing with a less invasive internal fixation method, but the study requires specific fracture types and long follow-up time.
This study compares two surgical approaches for fixing a specific type of pelvic fracture in older adults. It aims to see if operating on both the front and back of the pelvis is better than just the back alone.
This trial tests whether a procedure called sacroplasty (injecting bone cement into a broken sacrum) can safely reduce pain in people with sacral insufficiency fractures. If you have a low-energy fracture of the sacrum or back of the pelvis and have had pain for less than 6 weeks, this study may be an option.
This trial compares robot-assisted surgery to traditional surgery for treating moderate-to-severe pelvic fractures. If you've had a pelvic fracture recently, this study may help doctors understand which approach recovers better.
This study compares different ways to treat a specific type of pelvic fracture in adults 60 and older. It aims to find which treatment works best for healing and recovery.
This study compares surgery and non-surgical care for an acute burst fracture in the middle-to-lower back. The goal is to see which approach works better for healing and recovery.
