Numerous factors related to either the patient or the device/fusion approach can predispose to fusion failure. It is imperative to identify these modifiable risk factors and address them appropriately. Currently, there is a dearth of literature regarding optimal treatment options in cases of sacroiliac joint fusion failure. Treatment options for sacroiliac joint fusion failure such as neuroablation, neuromodulation, and surgical revision, either open or using minimally invasive technique, can be considered in patients with sacroiliac joint fusion failure.","PeriodicalId":131285,"journal":{"name":"Sacroiliac Joint Pain","volume":"185 5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124924183","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is a technology that uses radiofrequency needle probes to create lesions by way of localized tissue destruction. It is indicated for patients with chronic sacroiliac joint pain who have had a positive response to a lateral branch block. This procedure typically provides at least 6 and up to 12 months of significant pain relief and can be repeated. Practitioners should be well versed in the different evolving methods for RFA as well as its evidence, relevant anatomy, the technology used in RFA, and the complications that may occur with this procedure and how to prevent them. This chapter explores these principles and presents the relevant findings from the literature for this innovative procedure for sacroiliac joint pain.","PeriodicalId":131285,"journal":{"name":"Sacroiliac Joint Pain","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122353610","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Multiple conditions can result in the development of pain within this axial joint. These conditions may be both pathologic or nonpathologic. Pain may result from injury from an intraarticular as well as an extraarticular source. Pain in the sacroiliac joint may result from degenerative, traumatic, and inflammatory conditions. Conditions covered in this chapter are osteoarthritis, sacroiliac joint dysfunction, infection (pyogenic or granulomatous), crystalline-induced sacroiliitis (found in gout and calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate deposition disease), spondyloarthropathies, reactive arthritis, malignancy (primary and secondary), trauma. The impact of pregnancy on the sacroiliac joint is also discussed.","PeriodicalId":131285,"journal":{"name":"Sacroiliac Joint Pain","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115608351","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
