OBJECTIVE: Sacroplasty, or the injection of percutaneous polymethyl methacrylate into a sacral insufficiency fracture, has been previously described using needle placement in the short axis of the sacrum. We describe a new technique of needle placement along the long axis of the sacrum. CONCLUSION: This approach is easier to perform and results in improved cement distribution along the length of the sacral ala.
