Understanding SI Fusion A Cutting-Edge Approach to Spinal Care

SI Fusion is an innovative procedure designed to address chronic pain and instability stemming from sacroiliac joint dysfunction. This innovative approach provides lasting relief and helps patients regain their mobility and comfort.

The SI Fusion Procedure Step by Step

Consultation: Your journey begins with a thorough evaluation by our experienced orthopedic team. We assess your condition and discuss whether SI Fusion is the right solution for you.
Anesthesia: Before the procedure, you receive anesthesia to ensure your comfort and minimize discomfort. Your well-being is our top priority.
Incision: A small incision is carefully made near the affected sacroiliac joint. This minimally invasive approach reduces scarring and promotes faster healing.
Implant Placement: Through this incision, our skilled surgeons place an implant precisely into the joint to stabilize and fuse it.
Closure: After the implant is securely in place, the incision is carefully closed. Your surgeon provides detailed post-operative instructions to support your recovery.

The Many Advantages of SI Fusion

Minimally Invasive

SI Fusion requires only a small incision, minimizing scarring and reducing the risk of complications.

Stability Reestablished

By stabilizing the sacroiliac joint, this procedure provides relief from pain and restores proper alignment.

Faster Recovery

Patients often experience a quicker return to their daily activities due to the minimally invasive nature of SI Fusion.

Symptoms of Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction

Sacroiliac joint dysfunction can manifest in various ways, with symptoms often mistaken for other conditions. Diagnosis and treatment of this painful condition should be led by an experienced orthopedic expert like those at the Center for the Functional Restoration of the Spine.

Patients commonly experience lower back pain, which may radiate to the buttocks, thighs, or groin.
This discomfort typically worsens with prolonged sitting, standing, or climbing stairs.
Sacroiliac joint dysfunction can also lead to stiffness, particularly in the morning, and a sensation of leg instability.
In severe cases, patients may notice pain during activities like walking or even when transitioning from sitting to standing.

These symptoms, often debilitating, underscore the importance of timely diagnosis and appropriate intervention to restore your comfort and mobility.
