Accepted Answer

8 to 12 weeks: Bone tissue takes awhile to heal .  The sacrum may heal fine if there was a fracture that would be confirmed by a MRI if acute or at least documented that it occurred by bone scan that may still reveal a fracture  that occurred but has healed for up to 1-2 years.  If the injury was axial ie fall on buttocks, there can be a coccyx or disc issue.  These  fractures can  also be due to osteoporosis

Question 6

i have tip of sacrum fracture and have lot of pain ... what is the line of treatment for this ?

Accepted Answer

Time: Treatment for coccygeal fractures is conservative and time will heal the bone. Symptomatic treatment is necessary. You'll need to get a "donut" balloon to sit on to take weight off of the fracture. If it goes on to not heal, sometimes we do an operative excision of the fragment.

Accepted Answer

Seek surgical eval : The best treatment may be for coccyx removal,if that was fractures. Radio frequency procedures would be a 2nd choice if surgery will not correct this

Possibly a sciatica: A sciatica is caused by an irritation of a nerve in the back that then can cause pain that runs into the buttock like you are describing.  There are also potentially other causes as well.  Usually a detailed history and exam can determine the cause, an MRI can be very helpful.    Thank you for your question.
