About

The purpose of this study is to compare outcomes when patients with chronic sacroiliac joint pain undergo either SI joint fusion with the iFuse Implant System or undergo conservative management of the SI joint

Full description

This study is a multicenter randomized controlled, post-market clinical follow-up clinical trial of the iFuse Implant System for SI joint fusion vs. conservative management. Subjects assigned to conservative management may cross over to iFuse after a minimum of 6 months of conservative treatment. Conservative management does not include interventional procedures such as prolotherapy, steroid injections and/or RF ablation.

Inclusion criteria

  1. Age 21-70 at time of screening
  2. Patient has lower back pain for >6 months or >18 months for pregnancy induced lower back pain
  3. Diagnosis of the SI joint as the primary lower back pain generator based on ALL of the following: a. Patient has pain at or close to the posterior superior iliac spine (PSIS) with possible radiation into buttocks, posterior thigh or groin and can point with a single finger to the location of pain (Fortin Finger Test), and b. Patient has at least 3 of 5 physical examination maneuvers specific for SI joint pain, and c. Patient has improvement in lower back pain NRS of at least 50% of the pre injection NRS score after fluoroscopic controlled injection of local anesthetic into affected SI joint(s) (including previous documented test <6 months ago)
  4. Baseline Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) score of at least 30%
  5. Baseline lower back pain score of at least 50 on 0-100 point VAS
  6. Patient has signed study-specific informed consent form
  7. Patient has the necessary mental capacity to participate and is physically able to comply with study protocol requirements

Exclusion criteria

  1. Severe lower back pain due to other causes, such as lumbar disc degeneration, lumbar disc herniation, lumbar spondylolisthesis, lumbar spinal stenosis, lumbar facet degeneration, and lumbar vertebral body fracture
  2. Sacroiliac pathology caused by auto-immune disease (e.g. ankylosing spondylitis) and/or neoplasia (e.g. benign or malignant tumor) and/or crystal arthropathy
  3. History of recent (<1 year) fracture of the pelvis with documented malunion, non-union of sacrum or ilium or any type of internal fixation of the pelvic ring.
  4. Spine surgery during the past 12 months.
  5. Previously diagnosed or suspected osteoporosis (defined as prior T-score <-2.5 or history of osteoporotic fracture)
  6. Documented osteomalacia or other metabolic bone disease
  7. Any condition or anatomy that makes treatment with the iFuse Implant System infeasible
  8. Known allergy to titanium or titanium alloys
  9. Use of medications known to have detrimental effects on bone quality and soft-tissue healing
  10. Prominent neurologic condition that would interfere with physical therapy
  11. Current systemic infection or local infection at the SI joint
  12. Currently pregnant or planning pregnancy in the next year
  13. Known or suspected drug or alcohol abuse
  14. Diagnosed psychiatric disease (e.g., schizophrenia, major depression, personality disorders) that could interfere with study participation
  15. Patient is participating in an investigational study or has been involved in an investigational study within 3 months of surgery
