SACROILIAC JOINT FUSION
Common questions about sacroiliac joint fusion
What is a sacroiliac joint fusion?
A Sacroiliac Joint Fusion is a surgical procedure that permanently connects the sacrum (the triangle-shaped bone at the base of the spine) to the ilium (the upper part of the pelvis) to stop joint movement and relieve chronic pain.
What conditions can a sacroiliac joint fusion treat?
Sacroiliac Joint Fusion stabilizes the joint connecting the spine to the pelvis to reduce pain caused by abnormal movement or dysfunction. It may be considered for carefully selected patients with persistent Back Pain and Chronic Pain originating from the sacroiliac joint after appropriate nonsurgical treatments have not provided sufficient relief.
How long does pain relief from a sacroiliac joint fusion last?
This procedure is intended to provide long-term relief over years if the joints successfully fuse. However, recovery and bone fusion take months, and we will be here every step of the way!
Is sacroiliac joint fusion painful?
Patients will experience post-operation ache, soreness, or tenderness from the incision and placement of titanium rods or screws. Most patients are able to walk with assistance within 24 hours. Soreness gradually fades overtime from weeks to months. If pain or aches persist, we will be here for you!
How long does the sacroiliac joint fusion procedure last?
1-2 hours or longer
