A New Approach to the Treatment of Sacroiliac Joint Pain and First Patient-Reported Outcomes Using a Novel Arthrodesis Technique for Sacroiliac Joint Fusion.

The implant used takes into account the unique anatomy of the SIJ and also meets the requirements of a true arthrodesis. Initial results in two patients are promising. Biomechanical and clinical studies will have to show whether the considerable theoretical advantages of the new implant system over existing SIJ implants - in particular the possibility of connection to a lumbar stabilization system - and SPFs can be put into practice.
