Traumatic sacral fracture is rare complication in trauma patients but it is a major cause of death and disability in these patients. Their management is still under debate. Different modalities include conservative management, initial conservative treatment followed by surgical treatment after failure of conservative treatment, and primary surgical treatment. We are presenting a case with transverse sacral fracture treated with posterior approach in the early period of trauma. We suggest that early surgical decompression and stabilization should be performed in such cases.
