ICYMI: iFuse Sacroiliac Joint Fusion

It is commonly reported in clinical literature that up to 25% of all low back pain is caused by the SI joint. Once non-surgical options have been tried and do not provide relief, Dr. Stern and Dr. Berman may consider other options, including surgery.

SI-BONE, Inc. has developed a minimally invasive surgical (MIS), innovative, patented, implant system for certain sacroiliac (SI) joint problems. The iFuse Implant System® consists of titanium implants and associated surgical instruments.

The iFuse Implant System is intended for sacroiliac fusion for conditions including sacroiliac joint dysfunction that is a direct result of sacroiliac joint disruption and degenerative sacroiliitis. This includes conditions whose symptoms began during pregnancy or in the peripartum period and have persisted postpartum for more than 6 months.
