Pelvis Insufficiency fractures
- Back pain consistently one of the top three most common ER chief complaints.
- Insufficiency fractures are a major pelvic cause of low back pain.
- Patients are often elderly and have many comorbidities confounding the diagnosis.
- Typically occult on plain film and often require MRI if suspected.
- High morbidity with associated injuries: bladder rupture, femur fractures
