Fractures of the os sacrum can be the cause of severe pain and immobility. A common cause of insufficiency fractures is osteoporosis. In elderly and multimorbid patients, the complications of conservative therapy can sometimes be severe. In the meantime, good outcomes with regard to pain reduction and improved mobility are achieved with CT-assisted balloon sacroplasty. We report on the successful simultaneous treatment of a bilateral osteoporosis-related insufficiency fracture of the sacrum.
