TREATMENT
Sacro-Iliac Joint Fusion
What Is Sacro-Iliac Joint Fusion?
Sacroiliac (SI) joint fusion is a minimally invasive procedure used to stabilize the SI joint and reduce chronic low back pain.
The sacroiliac (SI) joint is a significant source of low back pain and may account for 15–30% of cases in patients with chronic low back pain. It is also a common pain generator in patients who have previously undergone lumbar fusion. SI joint fusion is a minimally invasive surgical treatment option designed to stabilize and fuse the SI joint in cases where it is a source of pain.
The procedure involves inserting titanium implants across the joint to improve stability and support weight-bearing function after surgery. It is performed through a small incision and can often be completed as an outpatient procedure.
