Viscosupplementation Q & A
Fusion Surgery – What is it?
Sacroiliac joint fusion surgery is a surgical procedure that involves the joining of the sacrum and ilium bones by a bone graft or a titanium alloy. It can either be done through a minimally invasive technique where two small incisions are made or open surgery, which requires making an incision on your lower back. The goal of this procedure is to relieve the pressure on your nerves, restructure your pelvis and correct your posture by realigning these two bony joints.
Another benefit patients receive from undergoing a sacroiliac joint fusion surgery is that it stabilizes the pelvic region which reduces stress on their lower backs, hips, and legs.
When Should I Consider Sacroiliac Joint Fusion?
Most patients with pain and dysfunction in the SIJ find other approaches effective, so surgery is usually only an option when those therapies don’t work. You shouldn’t get a procedure unless you’ve followed diagnostic testing for at least three months without success or relief from your symptoms; if back trouble continues to be severe AND debilitating–managing home life alongside daily tasks like driving cars – then this might be something worth considering!
How Long is Recovery from Sacroiliac Joint Fusion?
The length of time you need to recover from sacroiliac joint fusion surgery depends on many factors such as how severe your symptoms were and which techniques the doctor uses during the procedure; however, most patients are able to complete healing within 1-2 months after undergoing this type medical treatment at our clinic!
