Sacroiliac Joint Fusion

The sacroiliac (SI) joint is a common but frequently overlooked source of low back and buttock pain. When conservative treatments fail, minimally invasive SI joint fusion stabilizes the joint and provides durable pain relief. Dr. DelSole performs SI joint fusion using advanced implant systems designed for immediate stabilization and long-term biological fusion.

Is SI Joint Fusion Right for You?

SI joint fusion may be recommended if you have:

What to Expect

Procedure Time

Typically under 1 hour

Incision Size

Small, approximately 3 cm

Hospital Stay

Same-day outpatient procedure

Recovery

Most patients return to normal activity in 4-6 weeks

Through a small incision over the buttock, specialized implants are placed across the SI joint under fluoroscopic guidance. The implants provide immediate stabilization while promoting biological fusion over time. The minimally invasive approach means minimal blood loss, short operative time, and rapid recovery compared to traditional open techniques.
