Abstract

The sacroiliac joint is recognized as a pain generator in up to 22.5% of patients with low back pain. Additionally, previous fusion of the lumbar spine has been shown to significantly affect degeneration of the sacroiliac joint. Recent advances in medical device technology and surgical techniques have allowed for minimally invasive procedures to fuse the sacroiliac joint. Specifically, the use of a percutaneous approach to fuse the sacroiliac joint has resulted in greater pain relief and overall promising clinical results; however, the biomechanics of this treatment have not been reported.
