We describe the presentation, treatment, and clinical outcome with a 2-year follow-up of a woman who sustained a low-energy spinopelvic dissociation diagnosed with magnetic resonance imaging. There was significant delayed displacement, and the patient was treated surgically with percutaneous iliosacral and trans-sacral screws.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>U-type sacral insufficiency fractures may be subtle on advanced imaging and must be followed closely if nonoperative treatment is chosen.
