The sacrum is a triangular bone formed by the fusion of five
sacral vertebrae. It forms the postero-superior part of the bony pelvis. Sacrum
is subjected to various disorders like dysmorphism, fractures and tumours. To
manage different types of disorders related to sacrum, s1 and s2 pedicle
screws, sacro-iliac screws, iliac screws, s2 aiar screws and instrumentation
are very often used. But the sacrum is related to various viscera, blood
vessels and nerves. To avoid injury to structures in the pelvis and to prevent
intra- and post-operative complications, detailed knowledge of the normal and
varied anatomy of the sacrum is essential. The aim of this chapter is to
elaborate on the normal and applied anatomy of the sacrum. The information will
be of utmost use to clinicians while dealing with the sacrum and its disorders.
