The popularity of standalone SA for SI joint stabilization/fusion with a posterior procedure is increasing. This case series demonstrates that clinical failures from this procedure may require surgical revision. The proposed fusion strategy (DA) for these products is unproven in the SI joint, and, therefore, properly conducted prospective randomized clinical trials with long-term clinical and radiographic follow-up are important to establish the safety and efficacy of this approach. In the meantime, the placement of lateral titanium implants appears to be an effective revision strategy.
