AI Article Synopsis

  • The recognition and treatment of the sacroiliac (SI) joint as a pain source have significantly progressed over the past decade, shifting from minimal acknowledgment to advanced surgical approaches.
  • Advances in medical techniques have led to the development of personalized, minimally invasive treatments for the SI joint, reducing surgical risks and recovery time.
  • Understanding the intricate 3D anatomy of the SI joint is crucial for effective treatment, making intraoperative imaging and navigation essential during minimally invasive procedures.

Article Abstract

During the past 10 years, the sacroiliac (SI) joint has evolved from being barely recognized as a source of pain, to being a joint treated only nonsurgically or with great surgical morbidity, to currently being a joint treated with minimally invasive techniques that are personalized to the individual patient. The complex 3-dimensional anatomy of the SI joint and lack of parallel to traditional imaging planes requires a thorough understanding of the structures within and around the SI joint that may be at risk of injury. Thus, the SI joint is ideally suited for intraoperative 3-dimensional imaging and surgical navigation when being treated minimally invasively.

Background/aim: The sacroiliac joint (SIJ) is a frequently overlooked source of lower back pain (LBP). Recently, it has gained recognition as a significant pain generator, prompting increased interest in surgeries targeting this area. Traditionally, open SIJ fusion was used to stabilize pelvic and sacral fractures, and then it was adapted for use in pain management until the development of minimally invasive surgery (MIS).

Background: Pelvic reconstruction after type I + II (or type I + II + III) internal hemipelvectomy with extensive ilium removal is a great challenge. In an attempt to anatomically reconstruct the hip rotation center (HRC) and achieve a low mechanical failure rate, a custom-made, 3D-printed prosthesis with a porous articular interface was developed. The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical outcomes of patients treated with this prosthesis.
