About SI Joint Fixation

SI Joint Fixation is a minimally invasive surgical procedure performed by orthopedic surgeons to stabilize the sacroiliac (SI) joint, where the sacrum meets the pelvis. This joint can become a source of debilitating chronic low back and buttock pain due to dysfunction, arthritis, or trauma. The procedure involves placing specialized screws or implants across the joint under precise X-ray guidance to fuse and immobilize it, thereby eliminating the painful motion. It is typically recommended after conservative treatments like physical therapy, medications, or injections have failed to provide lasting relief. This targeted approach offers a significant reduction in pain and improvement in mobility for patients suffering from SI joint disorders.

Key Highlights

Minimally invasive technique with smaller incisions and less tissue damage.Targeted relief from chronic low back, buttock, and leg pain originating from the SI joint.High success rate in improving mobility and quality of life when conservative treatments fail.Performed under image guidance for precise implant placement and enhanced safety.Typically involves a short hospital stay and a faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery.

Who is this surgery for?

Chronic sacroiliitis (inflammation of the SI joint) not responsive to medication or injections.
SI joint dysfunction or instability causing persistent low back and pelvic pain.
Post-traumatic SI joint pain following fractures or ligament injuries.
Degenerative arthritis of the SI joint.
Pain from SI joint hypermobility or hypomobility.
Failed non-surgical management including physical therapy for at least 6 months.

How to prepare

Complete a thorough medical evaluation, including imaging studies like X-rays, CT scans, or diagnostic SI joint injections.
Discuss all current medications with your surgeon; you may need to stop blood thinners several days prior.
Arrange for assistance at home for the initial recovery period post-surgery.
Follow pre-operative fasting instructions (typically no food or drink after midnight before surgery).
Undergo any necessary pre-admission testing as advised by your medical team.

Risks & possible complications

General surgical risks: infection, bleeding, or adverse reaction to anesthesia.
Nerve, blood vessel, or organ injury near the surgical site.
Implant-related issues such as malposition, loosening, or breakage.
Failure of the bones to fuse (non-union).
Persistent or new pain, including possible irritation from hardware.
Rare risks include blood clots (DVT/PE) or continued joint instability.

Recovery & hospital stay

Hospital stay is typically short, often 1-2 days for monitoring and initial pain management.
You will be encouraged to walk with assistance soon after surgery to promote circulation.
Activity is restricted; avoid bending, twisting, and heavy lifting for several weeks.
Pain is managed with prescribed medications, transitioning to over-the-counter options as healing progresses.
A structured physical therapy program is crucial, usually starting a few weeks post-op, to restore strength and mobility.
Follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor healing and implant placement via X-rays.

Typical hospital stay: 1-2 days
Expected recovery time: 6-12 weeks for initial recovery; full bone fusion may take 6-12 months
