Sacroiliac Joint Interventions Including Fusions

In this video, a panel of experts discusses the treatment of sacroiliac (SI) joint pain, highlighting the definitive procedure of SI fusion and exploring various approaches such as intraarticular injections, radiofrequency ablation, and regenerative medicine. They debate the merits of different fusion techniques—posterior, posterior-lateral, and lateral—and the role of minimally invasive procedures. The conversation also touches on the challenges of patient selection, particularly those with osteoporosis or on immunosuppressive drugs, and addresses recent studies and systematic reviews that question the long-term efficacy of these treatments.
