Jaime Alberto Restrepo Manotas*, Sofía Gil Pérez and Martín Jaime Corrales Suaréz

Coccydynia is a localized pain in the coccyx, is associated with functional or organic alterations of this area, which will generate problems in the movement of bone structure accompanied by chronic inflammation. The diagnostic method of choice will be the dynamic radiological examination. The basis of management is conservative treatment and if treatment fails it should be staggered to surgical treatment (coccygectomy).In this review, we will make an approach from the anatomy to have a clearer approach to the pathology and practical considerations at the time of treatment.
