If osseous fixation pathways are present, U-type sacral fractures can be successfully treated with percutaneous sacral screws. LPF may be indicated in more displaced fractures with loss of spinopelvic alignment. Both techniques for U-type sacral fractures result in reliable fixation and healing without reoperations.
