Description

In this session on sacroiliac (SI) dysfunction, Dr. Alan Kaye from LSU Health Science Center covers the anatomy, causes, diagnosis, and treatment options for SI joint issues. He emphasizes clinical diagnosis and physical exams over imaging, highlighting the gold standard of SI joint injections for confirmation. Conservative treatments often fall short for chronic cases, leading to advanced interventions like radiofrequency ablation, regenerative medicine, SI fusion, and peripheral nerve stimulation. Recent studies show mixed results, but innovative treatments hold promise. The evolving algorithm incorporates these methods to improve patient outcomes in managing sacroiliac dysfunction.
