NCT ID NCT07493564
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a procedure called sacroplasty can help older adults recover faster from sacral fractures. Sacroplasty involves injecting cement into the broken bone to stabilize it. The trial will compare this procedure to standard care like pain medication and physical therapy. Researchers will measure quality of life, pain, and mobility over six months.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Percutaneous sacroplasty (cement injection into the fracture)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a faster recovery and better quality of life for older adults with painful sacral fractures.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 78 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The procedure carries risks like infection or cement leakage.
