Diagnosing SI joint pain includes a physical exam of the SI joint, spine, hips and pelvis, provocative tests, and diagnostic injections.
The iFuse triangle-shaped implant has been designed specifically for the SI joint.
The iFuse Implant is the only device for treatment of SI joint dysfunction that is supported by significant published clinical evidence.
As with other joints in the body, the SI joint can become damaged from trauma, degeneration and everyday wear and tear.
