In a fusion surgery, a bone graft and/or instruments are used to encourage bone growth over the sacroiliac joint and create one immobile unit. Joint fusion can effectively reduce pain and instability caused by sacroiliac joint dysfunction or inflammation (sacroiliitis).
Sacroiliac joint fusion is a minimally invasive procedure, done under image guidance, to place titanium implants across the sacroiliac joint for stability.
In a sacroiliac joint fusion, one or both sides of the sacrum is grafted to the ilium to encourage bone growth across the joint. Fusion occurs during the healing process following the surgery, and is achieved using implanted instrumentation and/or a bone graft. The most common method of sacroiliac joint fusion is a minimally-invasive procedure ...
The idea behind SI joint fusion surgery is to join these bones together. There are two kinds of fusion surgery: minimally invasive and open. Both happen in the hospital, and you’ll get...
Rehabilitation following SI joint fusion is determined by a combination of factors, such as the systems used to fuse the joint (such as instrumentation and bone grafting), the severity of symptoms prior to surgery, and the surgeon or physical therapist’s preferences for rehabilitation.
When conservative measures fail, minimally invasive SI joint fusion using a series of triangular porous plasma coated titanium implants is a safe and effective treatment option in carefully selected patients.
Sacroiliac (SI) fusion surgery is a procedure aimed at stabilizing the sacroiliac joint, which connects the lower spine (sacrum) to the pelvis (iliac bones). The SI joint is responsible for transferring the weight and forces from the upper body to the lower body and legs.
The sacroiliac (SI) joint is a common cause of chronic low back pain (15%–30%). 1,2 In patients with low back pain following lumbar fusion, SI joint pain may be a more common cause (as high as 40%). 3 Nonsurgical treatments for SI joint pain include physical therapy, pain medications, SI joint injections (corticosteroids or other substances), an...
DYSFUNCTION AND SACROILIAC JOINT PAIN. TREATMENTS AND THERAPIES. If you experience low back pain, the cause might be the SI joint. Important Safety Information.
SI joint fusion permanent restrictions can affect one or both sides. The sacrum and ilium are grafted to encourage the growth of bone across the joint using implanted bone grafts or instrumentation. Fusion of the joint is a result of the natural healing process.
