The sacral fractures are from the Orgovyx! So, not from a fall or trauma. As we have learned, Orgovyx can cause osteoporosis which should be monitored for severity during ADT
and if bone thinning is seen then a "pause" for treatment of the bone can avoid fractures.This was NOT done in my husbands case as his bone inflammation was trivialized until the 2 back fractures happened. Be careful with Orgovyx as this side effect is permanent

They never monitored your husband’s blood for alkaline phosphatase? Calcium levels? Those are pretty good indicators of bone destruction.
Go back and look at his enzyme tests snd see if it’s there.
