This review gives a summary of osteoarthritis (OA) of the spine involving the facet and the sacroiliac joints. Facet joint OA is widely prevalent in adults, and is thought to be a common cause of back and neck pain. The prevalence of facet and SI-joint mediated pain increases with age, suggesting that OA might have a particularly important role in older adults with spinal pain. Treatment options of symptomatic facet- and SI-joint degeneration consist of non-opioid analgesics, physiotherapy or in patients with persistent back or leg pain of either spinal decompression or fusion.

Diagnostic efficacy of dual-energy CT virtual non-calcium technique in the diagnosis of bone marrow edema of sacroiliac joints in ankylosing spondylitis.
J Orthop Surg Res
January 2025
Medical school, Kunming University of Science and Technology, Kunming, Yunnan, China.
Objective: In-depth investigation of the diagnostic performance of dual-energy CT (DECT) virtual non-calcium (VNCa) technique for sacroiliac joint bone marrow edema (BME) in patients with ankylosing spondylitis(AS).
Methods: A total of 42 patients with AS)who underwent sacroiliac joint MRI and DECT scans on the same day at our Rheumatology and Immunology Department between August 2022 and June 2023 were selected. Using MRI as the reference standard, the presence of BME on the iliac and sacral surfaces was evaluated, resulting in the categorization of patients into BME-positive and BME-negative groups.

School of Mechanical Engineering, Shandong University of Technology, Zibo, China.
Objective: To investigate the impact of tension and laxity in the sacroiliac interosseous ligament on lumbar spine displacement and force response in vibration environments.
Methods: A finite element model of the lumbar-pelvis, previously crafted and rigorously validated, was used to simulate ligament tension and laxity by adjusting the elastic modulus of the SIL under a sinusoidal vertical load of ±40 N at 5 Hz. Comparisons of lumbar spine horizontal and axial displacements as well as annulus fibrous stress, nucleus pulposus pressure, and facet joint force were performed, respectively.

Background: Numerous studies have highlighted the escalating costs associated with managing low back and neck pain, as well as other musculoskeletal disorders. In the past, there was a notable increase in the use of interventional techniques to address these disorders. However, the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted various chronic pain treatment approaches, including interventional procedures and opioid use, following a broader trend of reduced healthcare services.

Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of sacroiliac screw implantation assisted by three-dimensional (3D) printed faceted honeycomb guide plate in the treatment of posterior pelvic ring fracture.
Methods: The clinical data of 40 patients with posterior pelvic ring fractures treated with sacroiliac screw implantation between December 2019 and December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 18 cases were treated with sacroiliac screws fixation assisted by 3D printed faceted honeycomb guide plate (guide plate group), and 22 cases were treated with sacroiliac screws percutaneously fixation under fluoroscopy (conventional group).
