The severity of a fracture of the coccyx, whether simple or comminuted, depends on the complications. The most serious complication of a tailbone fracture is forward displacement, which can compress the rectum and result in limited bowel movements or difficulty in defecation. If the symptoms are serious, the coccyx needs to be repositioned by inserting a gloved finger into the anus and repositioning the coccyx. If the repositioning is not ideal, surgery is needed to remove the coccyx to prevent it from interfering with bowel movements. If the comminuted fracture does not compress the rectum, then it is not serious, and the local application of medicines that relieve menstruation and activate blood circulation or pain-relieving ointment can be used to alleviate the local pain, and after the pain disappears, it can be recovered.
