Sacroiliac Joints

  • The joint between articular surfaces on the sacrum and iliac bones. (a diarthrodial synovial joint)
  • Only the anterior part is a true synovial joint.
  • The posterior part is fibrous tissue, with strong ligaments
  • It is stable, rigid, very strong, and reinforced by strong ligaments and muscles surrounding it
  • Relatively immobile (Does not have much motion2mm).
  • Transmits all the forces of the upper body to the pelvis (hips) and legs (effective load transfer)
  • Acts as a shock-absorbing structure.

Causes SI Joint Syndrome:

  • the prevalence of SI pain among patients with axial low back pain varies between 16% and 30%.
  • Pain can also be caused by an abnormality of the sacrum bone.
  • The excess motion can lead to wear and tear of the joint and pain from degenerative arthritis.
  • Trauma (direct fall on the buttocks, a motor vehicle accident, or even a blow to the side of your pelvis)..

Risk Factor

  • leg length discrepancy
  • abnormal gait pattern
  • trauma
  • heavy physical exertion
  • pregnancy
  • scoliosis
  • lumbar and sacrum fusion surgery

Diagnosis

  • IASP criteria for diagnosing SI joint pain
  • Pain present in the region of the SIJ
  • +ve Clinical SI Joint Stress tests(painful).
  • +ve diagnostic interventional procedure (completely relieves the pain)

Symptoms

>> It is often hard to distinguish from other types of LBP; because of the pattern of back and pelvic pain that mimic each other In SI joint syndrome we find:

  • Low back pain bilateral or unilateral in the posterior aspect of the SI joint
  • Unilateral Buttock, hip, or Thigh pain
  • Difficulty sitting in one place for too long due to pain
  • LBP with radiculopathy

>>   Medical imaging includes:

  • Radiography
  • Computed tomography (CT)
  • Single-photon emission CT
  • Bone scan
  • Nuclear imaging techniques
  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) does not allow the evaluation of normal anatomy. However, in the presence of spondyloarthropathy, MRI can detect inflammation and destruction of cartilage despite normal clinical presentation

Diagnostic injection

  • The IASP criteria mandate that pain should disappear after intra-articular SI joint infiltration with a local anesthetic in order to confirm the diagnosis.

Treatment

  • Physiotherapy, pharmacological 
  • Intraarticular sacroiliac joint injection therapy
  • Radiofrequency ablation
