Tailbone dislocation, dislocated coccyx
This is a lateral radiograph (x-ray) showing a Tailbone dislocation (dislocated coccyx).
If you look closely at the tailbone, you can see that at one joint the tailbone (coccyx) is not lined up with the bone segment above it. In fact, in this particular case the alignment is "off" by more than 50% of the width of the bone. This lack of alignment is called "listhesis".
A patient with tailbone pain (coccydynia) from this problem will often respond well to non-surgical treatment, if appropriate care is given.
