Sacroiliac joint (SIJ) pain is a common source of lower back pain; the factors associated have not been studied in cancer patients. Observing patients with bone marrow aspiration and biopsy (BMAB) who subsequently developed SIJ-pain led to this investigation. To investigate this possible relationship. A cohort study of cancer patients diagnosed with SIJ pain. The association of BMAB with SIJ pain was evaluated, as were variables that differed between the groups. The prevalence of SIJ pain was 4.95% (231/4669). Among 231 patients with SIJ pain, 34% (78/231) did not have prior history of lower back pain and had undergone BMAB prior to their diagnosis of SIJ pain. A statistically significant association between BMAB-SIJ-pain was found (p < 0.01). We found linear correlation between BMAB and subsequent SIJ pain.

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).

➢ Low back pain has a lifetime incidence of up to 84% and represents the leading cause of disability in the United States; 10% to 38% of cases can be attributed to sacroiliac joint (SIJ) dysfunction as an important pain generator.➢ Physical examination of the SIJ, including >1 provocation test (due to their moderate sensitivity and specificity) and examination of adjacent joints (hip and lumbar spine) should be routinely performed in all patients presenting with low back, gluteal, and posterior hip pain.➢ Radiographic investigations including radiographs, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging with protocols optimized for the visualization of the SIJs may facilitate the diagnosis of common pathologies.

Hip disarticulation is a morbid procedure for those whose bony or soft tissues are unable to be salvaged. It involves extensive resection, and the patient featured in this report expressed mechanical pain from their sacroiliac joint (SIJ) as well as phantom limb pain (PLP). Spinal cord stimulation is known to assist with neuropathic pain syndromes, and SIJ fusion is effective in these cases of multifactorial pain.

Advancements in Imaging Techniques for Early Diagnosis and Management of Axial Spondyloarthritis.

Curr Rheumatol Rep

December 2024

Division of Rheumatology, Department of Internal Medicine, Research Institute of Medical Science, Konkuk University School of Medicine, 120-1 Neungdong-ro (Hwayang-dong), Gwangjin-gu, Seoul, 143-729, Republic of Korea.

Purpose Of Review: We aimed to introduce recent finding of imaging studies used in axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA).

Recent Findings: Using low-dose whole spine CT (CT syndesmophyte score [CTSS]) improved diagnostic accuracy for evaluating spinal structural progression than previous method (modified Stoke Ankylosing Spondylitis Spinal Score [mSASSS]) in axSpA. The novel definition of positive finding of sacroiliac joint (SIJ) and spine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) enabled to diagnose axSpA earlier than plain radiography.

L5-S3 Compared to L5-S2 Full-Endoscopic Rhizotomy and Ablation Under a Navigation System for Sacroiliac Joint Pain: A Comparative Study.

Pain Physician

November 2024

Division of Neurosurgery, Department of Surgery, Changhua Christian Hospital, Changhua, Changhua City, Taiwan; Department of Leisure Industry Management, National Chin-Yi University of Technology, Taichung, Taiwan; Department of Biomedical Sciences National Chung Cheng University, Chiayi, Taiwan.

Background: Chronic low back pain (CLBP) with sacroiliac joint (SIJ) involvement is a prevalent issue in health care. Surgical intervention, employing an endoscopic technique with a navigation system, targets and ablates nociceptive nerve fibers associated with SIJ pain, although the clinical effect of omitting rhizotomy of the lateral sacral branch of S3 remains uncertain.

Objectives: This study aimed to compare the clinical outcomes of 2 full-endoscopic rhizotomy and ablation (FERA) techniques for SIJ pain and to determine the effect of omitting rhizotomy of the lateral sacral branch of S3 on patient outcomes.
