Sacral Fracture Fusion/Fixation for Rapid Rehabilitation

Open to people ages 60 years and up

1. ≥ 60 years of age at screening.
2. Posterior pelvic pain correlating with fracture location that began EITHER within 14 days of a low-energy traumatic event, OR in the last 60 days in the absence of a traumatic event
3. Imaging (X-ray, CT, or MRI) showing fracture of the sacrum (unilateral or bilateral)
4. Patient is either bedbound or must use a wheelchair to cover distances more than 50ft
5. Prior to fracture, patient was able to ambulate using a cane or unassisted
6. Medically stable to undergo either surgical or non-surgical treatment of index fracture.
7. Patient is willing and able to provide written informed consent
8. Patient is mentally able to comply with study protocol requirements

1. Patient requires surgery to address fracture in the pelvic ring (NSM not feasible)
2. Anatomic anomalies/defects that would preclude safe and/or biomechanically acceptable placement of implants across the sacroiliac joint (SIJ) and into the sacrum
3. Sacral fracture potentially or definitely related to tumor
4. Any permanent implants already in the sacrum (including cement), ilium, or anterior pelvic ring that could interfere with placement of transiliac transsacral or iliosacral screws or iFuse-TORQ implants
5. History of recent (within 1 year) non-index pelvic fracture with nonunion of sacrum or ilium.
6. Other clinically active fragility fracture of spine, hip, arms, or legs that could impair recovery from sacral fracture
7. Uncontrolled psychiatric disease (e.g., dementia, schizophrenia, major depression, personality disorders) that could interfere with study participation or assessments
8. Prominent neurologic condition that would interfere with study participation including the use of electronic diaries (e.g., dementia) or recovery of mobility (e.g., severe diabetic neuropathy, multiple sclerosis)

9. Known allergy to titanium or titanium alloys

   10. Current local or systemic infection that raises the risk of surgery. 11. Known or suspected active drug or alcohol abuse, including opioids. 12. Patient lives or plans to move more than 100 miles from the site during the course of

   the study.

   13. Current enrollment in another investigational clinical trial related to fractures or
