ID:16549 Interventional Fluoroscopic Sacroiliac Fusion in Patients With Failed Back Surgery Syndrome and Spinal Cord Stimulation

Abstract

Sacroiliac Joint (SIJ) Pain accounts for approximately 30 % of LBP. Up to 43% of patients post lumbar fusion have SIJ Pain. The pathophysiology postulated due to increased mechanical load. Patients develop adjacent segment disease in the SIJ leading to pain and dysfunction and may need surgery after failed conservative management. This study explores the use of a sacroiliac fusion for failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS) and SIJ pain with failed neuromodulation using spinal cord stimulators (SCS).
