Do you have SI Joint Pain?
The SI joint can be a significant cause of lower back pain. Clinical publications have identified the SI joint as a pain generator in 15-30% of chronic lower back pain patients.1-4 In addition, the SI joint is a pain generator in up to 43% of patients with continued or new onset lower back pain after a lumbar fusion.5
Sacroiliac (SI) Joint Anatomy
The sacroiliac (SI) joint is located in the pelvis; it links the iliac bones (pelvis) to the sacrum (lowest part of the spine above the tailbone). It is an essential component for energy transfer between the legs and the torso.
Like any other joint in the body, the SI joint can be injured and/or undergo degeneration. When this happens, people can feel pain in their buttock and sometimes in the lower back, hips, and legs. This is especially true while lifting, running, walking, or even lying on the involved side.
It’s common for pain from the SI joint to feel like disc or lower back pain, or sometimes hip or groin pain. For this reason, SI joint disorders should always be considered in lower back, hip, and pelvic pain diagnosis.

OPTION #1 (Non-physician-specific copy): Treatment Paragraph
iFuse INTRA X® Allograft is designed to provide stabilization and promote fusion of the SI joint. The ultra-minimally invasive iFuse INTRA X allograft procedure is performed entirely through a small incision in the lower back. Using a bone access needle, two small cylindrical implants made of bone allograft are implanted into the SI joint. The procedure takes less than an hour.
- The iFuse INTRA X Implants are small bone allografts designed to provide stabilization and promote fusion of the SI joint.
- Through a small incision on the lower back, iFuse INTRA X is implanted into the SI joint to increase stabilization and promote fusion.
iFuse INTRA X® Allograft Implant System is one of the latest innovative solutions from SI-BONE, the creator of the minimally invasive SI joint fusion device—the triangular titanium iFuse Implant. More than 100 peer-reviewed publications demonstrate the safety, durable effectiveness, and biomechanical and economic benefits of the iFuse implant (si-bone.com/results). The iFuse implant is the only SI joint fusion device with multiple prospective clinical studies, including two randomized controlled trials6,7, demonstrating that treatment improved pain, patient function, and quality of life.7-11
As with any minimally invasive surgical procedures, there are potential risks associated with the iFuse procedures. They may not be appropriate for all patients and all patients may not benefit. For information about the risks, visit https://si-bone.com/risks.
