SI joint fusion is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that permanently joins the sacrum and ilium bones at the sacroiliac (SI) joint to stabilize it and relieve chronic lower back, pelvic, or leg pain caused by joint dysfunction or inflammation.
May include persistent pain in the lower back, buttocks, hips, or groin often radiating down the leg and mimicking sciatica along with stiffness, instability, and difficulty walking, climbing stairs, or transitioning between sitting and standing.
Begins with conservative options like physical therapy, injections, and medications. If these fail, SI joint fusion may be recommended. The procedure typically involves inserting titanium implants through small incisions to fuse the joint, with most patients experiencing significant pain relief and improved mobility within a few months.
