[WT5”BX]Methods.[WT5”BZ] In this series, 39 sacral fractures were retrospectively reviewed and classified utilizing Denis′ classification. There were 21 Zone Ⅰ fractures, 6 Zone Ⅱ fractures and 12 Zone Ⅲ fractures. Neurological deficits were present in seven patients. Thirty seven patients were treated conservatively and two underwent surgical management. [WT5”BX]Results.[WT5”BZ]Thirty eight patients were followed up for three months to 19 years. Thirty three have recovered, four improved, and one remained disabled. [WT5”BX]Conclusion.[WT5”BZ]The treatment of sacral fractures requires assessment of pelvic stability and existing nerve injury. The patients with pelvic ring instability and neurological deficits should be treated with fracture reduction and stability reconstruction. When the patients with pelvic fracture are complicated with neurological deficits, sacral fracture should be first suspected. Once the diagnosis of sacral fracture is made, fracture reduction should be indicated. Conservative treatment usually permits satisfactory results.展开更多

Methods: A total of 16 patients (14 males and 2 females, aged from 18 to 50 years) with spinal fractures combined with paraplegia and diaphragm injury, receiving emergency treatment and admitted to our hospital in the past 20 years, were retrospectively analyzed in this study. Results: The injuries were caused by direct or indirect violence. Six cases were of fractures of cervical spine combined with paraplegia and diaphragm injury, 2 of fractures of thoracic vertebra combined with paraplegia and diaphragm injury, and 8 of thoracolumbar fractures combined with paraplegia and diaphragm injury. Six cases received non operative treatment, but died finally. Ten cases received spine surgical treatment, of which 4 died and 6 were improved. The total mortality rate was 62.5 %. Conclusions: Spinal fractures combined with paraplegia and diaphragm injury are one of the most severe traumas in departments of orthopaedics. Paraplegia can be found easily, but diaphragm injury is often neglected and missed. When a patient suffers from both of them, he is in danger of death. What measures should be taken to rescue the patients life depends on the severity of the wounds.展开更多
