The diagnosis and radiologic findings of traumatic coccyx can be more easily detected unless it is delayed and postponed. For idiopathic coccydynia, which accounts for one third of cases, patients present with long-standing pain and multiple physician visits.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Method\u2002The keywords coccyx, coccydynia, coccygodynia were searched in PubMed, Embase, Scopus databases in the last 5 years. Research articles, reviews and case reports were analyzed. The studies conducted in the last 5 years were presented under the headings of etiology, radiologic assessment, interventional and surgical treatments.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Results and Conclusion\u2002The first step is dynamic X-ray of the coccyx in standing and sitting position. In this way, morphologic parameters and hypermobility causing idiopathic coccydynia can be evaluated. Morphologic and morphometric features of the coccyx described in previous CT and MR studies have explained the relationship with coccydynia. The key features are as follows: Type II coccyx morphology, subluxation of the intercoccygeal joint, presence of bony spicules. Knowledge of these definitions as well as the differential diagnosis in this anatomical region will help in reaching the correct diagnosis. The treatment of coccydynia is stepwise like the diagnosis. Conservative treatments are initiated first. Manipulations, ganglion impar block, injections, radiofrequency and shock treatments and finally coccygectomy are treatment methods reported. Radiologists should not overlook this region and should be familiar with the coccyx\u2019s morphologic appearance and the sacrococcygeal region\u2019s differential diagnosis.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Key points\u2002<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Citation Format\n          <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/a-2185-8585","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,10]],"date-time":"2023-11-10T00:46:20Z","timestamp":1699577180000},"page":"560-572","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Imaging findings and treatment in coccydynia \u2013 update of the recent study findings"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"196","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0047-0857","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Abdullah","family":"Sukun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Radiology, Ba\u015fkent University Alanya Research and Application Center, Antalya, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3372-8690","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tijen","family":"Cankurtaran","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Radiology, Baskent University, Ankara, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5850-6560","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Muhte\u015fem","family":"Agildere","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Radiology, Baskent University, Ankara, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3918-8066","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marc-Andr\u00e9","family":"Weber","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology, Pediatric Radiology and Neuroradiology, Rostock University Medical Center, Rostock, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1143","DOI":"10.1002\/pmrj.12683","article-title":"The interdisciplinary management of coccydynia: A narrative review","volume":"14","author":"W D White","year":"2022","journal-title":"Pm r"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"789","DOI":"10.1080\/01616412.2020.1775014","article-title":"Influence of psychiatric disorders and chronic pain on the surgical outcome in the patient with chronic coccydynia: a single institution\u2019s experience","volume":"42","author":"K A Lyon","year":"2020","journal-title":"Neurol Res"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1351","DOI":"10.1002\/pmrj.12706","article-title":"Association of coccygodynia with pelvic floor symptoms in women with pelvic pain","volume":"14","author":"C E Neville","year":"2022","journal-title":"Pm r"},{"key":"ref4","volume-title":"Coccyx Pain.
