Manipulation of the Sacro-Iliac Joint
نویسنده
چکیده
As recently as 1937, Horace C. Pitkin in an article in the "Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery" wrote: "Manipulative surgery is a therapeutic waif of lowly origin whose infancy and childhood have been shielded from the light of reason by a congenital veil of empiricism and quackery." Yet in spite of such hereditary handicaps, it continues to thrive wonderfully; and perhaps in no better field than that of the sacro-iliac region has this therapeutic waif justified its existence. It is in an attempt to draw aside this congenital veil in some little measure and shed a little of the light of reason upon this difficult and, I fear, neglected region of the sacro-iliac articulation, that the present article is written.

Sacro-iliac joint in adult rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthropathy.
Sacro-iliitis is held to be an early and constant sign of ankylosing spondylitis (AS), a frequent sign of Reiter's disease, and one by which it is possible to distinguish these diseases radiologically from rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Recently Cohen, McNeil, Sharp, Schubart, Calabro, and Calkins (1959), in a combined clinical and radiological study of AS and RA, briefly noted that "the sacro-ilia...
متن کاملSacro-Iliac Joint Sensory Block and Radiofrequency Ablation: Assessment of Bony Landmarks Relevant for Image-Guided Procedures
Image-guided sensory block and radiofrequency ablation of the nerves innervating the sacro-iliac joint require readily identifiable bony landmarks for accurate needle/electrode placement. Understanding the relative locations of the transverse sacral tubercles along the lateral sacral crest is important for ultrasound guidance, as they demarcate the position of the posterior sacral network (S1-S...

Necrotizing soft tissue infection of an extremity is a rare but life-threatening disease. The disease is an infection that involves the soft tissue layer and is characterized by rapidly spreading inflammation (especially of the fascial planes and the surrounding tissues) with a high mortality. Early diagnosis is essential for the outcome of the patients. Radical surgical debridement is the trea...

BACKGROUND Pelvic ring disruption when treated conservatively can be associated with prolonged hospital stay and immobilization, mal-union, chronic pain, limb length discrepancy if they are treated conservatively. Open reduction and fixation in an already compromised soft tissue and hemodynamically unstable patient causes more soft tissue injury, heamatoma, infection and neurovascular injury. P...
متن کاملRadiological study of sacro-iliac joints in ankylosing spondylitis with reference to the evolution of the disease.
Krebs (1931) stated that, in ankylosing spondylitis, sacro-iliac changes appeared early in radiographs and were almost constant. Since that time the attention of all those interested in the clinical aspects and pathogenesis of the disease has been focused on these radiological changes. Scott (1936) laid great stress on the value of radiological changes in early diagnosis of the disease, and lau...
