Academic Opinion Leaders in the Field of Spine Surgery & Sacroiliac Joint Experts Attend SI-BONE's National Summit on the Diagnosis of Sacroiliac...(th other spine surgeons throughout the U...),Health

Several treatments available heretofore have shown limited effectiveness. The SI-BONE implant has shown early efficacy in reducing SI Joint symptoms. A multicenter study is being planned to determine its effect on SI Joint pathology over a period of 3 months to 2 years. The study will evaluate pain reduction and implant stability over time with the SI-BONE less invasive surgical implant. Referring specialists and physiatrists need to have an outlet for unsatisfied LBP patients. Some patients have residual syndromes after hip arthroplasty or lumbar spine procedures. For some, the SI Joint is the sole symptom generator. The surgeon can now focus further treatment appropriately and avoid unsuccessful repeat procedures often seen in failed lumbar spine surgery syndrome.

SI-BONE's iFuse Implant is an FDA-cleared device for treatment of pelvic fractures due to sacroiliitis and traumatic disruptions. Having a small incision surgical option to treat an unmet clinical need like SI Joint Dysfunction should prove to be an enormous benefit to both surgeons and patients alike. In response to increasing awareness of the SI Joint as a symptom generator, SI-BONE, Inc. developed an innovative, patented, intramedullary implant to treat the SI Joint. This surgical procedure requires only a minimal incision and uses small, titanium implants. The implants are coated with a porous plasma spray that acts as an interference surface to help decrease implant motion. These implants have greater thickness and improved metallurgy and are able to produce a much stronger construct than that of pins or screws. The implant system from SI-BONE has been used successfully in approximately 1,000 cases of dysfunctional foot joints.

The SI Joint Diagnostic Summit was sponsored by SI-BONE, Inc. for the invited attendees.
