Sacral fractures result from trauma, stress, or low-energy impacts, especially in weakened bones. These fractures often present with nonspecific symptoms and require advanced imaging for diagnosis. Treatment varies based on fracture severity, with options ranging from conservative to surgical approaches. Pain management can involve pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods, such as acupuncture. A multidisciplinary approach is essential for recovery, particularly for athletes, to ensure early mobilization and avoid complications. In the case of a professional snowboarder who sustained a sacral fracture before the 2022 Winter Olympics, a CT-guided pain block and acupuncture enabled him to compete pain-free just 32 days post-injury. This case highlights the importance of an individualized, multidisciplinary approach when managing fractures in high-performance athletes, balancing both the healing process and the need to return to competition.
