Treatment of Sacroiliac Dysfunction With SI-LOK® Sacroiliac Joint Fixation SI-SI-LOK

Treatment of Sacroiliac Dysfunction With SI-LOK® Sacroiliac Joint Fixation System

The objective of this study is to gather clinical data on SI-LOK® for the treatment of sacroiliac joint dysfunction.

The purpose of this prospective study is to evaluate clinical and radiographic outcomes, intra-operative parameters, patient satisfaction and work status following a procedure using SI-LOK® for treatment of sacroiliac joint dysfunction with a minimum of three screws.

Clinical Research Forms will be completed at all pre-op, intra-op and post-op visits by either the surgeon, clinical coordinator or patient.

Forms completed by patients will be checked, initialed and dated by the site coordinator.

Data collected will be presented as mean +/- standard deviation. Statistical significance will be evaluated at the P < 0.05 significance level.
