Guo Y, Yadav R: Improving function after total sacrectomy by using a lumbar-sacral corset: A case report and review of the literature. Am J Phys Med Rehabil 2002;81:72–76.

The following case report describes the rehabilitation of a patient with a large sacral chordoma who underwent multistage surgery, including total sacrectomy. The use of a lumbar-sacral corset allowed earlier functional recovery and contributed greatly to successful pain management.
