A healed unilateral sacral torsion indicates that the sacrum has become stable in its position following the torsional strain. In this context, a unilateral sacral torsion refers to a situation where there is an asymmetrical positioning of the sacrum, resulting from stress or injury, which subsequently heals into a stable state.

Stability in this instance means that the sacrum has adjusted and adapted to the torsion, allowing it to maintain a specific orientation without returning to a more neutral or previously mobile state. The healing process typically involves the soft tissues and ligaments surrounding the sacrum, which contribute to the stabilization of the joint. This stability allows for normal physiological function while mitigating the risk of further injury or dysfunction in the region.

Other options may hint at characteristics related to mobility or rotation but do not align with the concept of a "healed" state. The focus on stability reflects an understanding of how the body compensates and stabilizes following an injury, positioning the sacrum in a reliable manner for ongoing function.
