Primary bone tumours, even in very advanced stages, rarely exhibit transarticular spread. We present a case of chondrosarcoma of the ilium with destruction of the sacroiliac joint, the ipsilateral sacral ala and with sacral nerve involvement.

BACKGROUND Sacroiliac joint pain is a challenging condition accounting for approximately 20% of cases of chronic low back pain. Currently, there are no effective long-term treatment options for sacroiliac joint pain. METHODS A randomized placebo-controlled study was conducted in 28 patients with injection-diagnosed sacroiliac joint pain. Fourteen patients received L4-L5 primary dorsal rami an...

Septic sacroiliitis is rare and accounts for approximately 1-2% of osteoarticular infections in children. Diagnosis of this disease has been difficult in the past due to its deep location and may be delayed due to the lack of specific clinical signs and symptoms. We describe 2 paediatric patients with clinical-radiological signs of septic sacroiliitis. E., an 8-year-old boy, presented with righ...

PURPOSE OF THE STUDY Sacroiliac joint dysfunction is defined as a permanent chronic pain originating from the sacroiliac joint, limiting patient's daily activities. The purpose of this study was to evaluate effectiveness minimally invasive stabilization by triangular titanium implants in patients with dysfunction. MATERIAL AND METHODS prospective evaluated who had underwent for use iFuse® impla...

The sacroiliac (SI) joint is a common source of low back pain in the general population. Because it is the link between the lower extremities and the spine, it sustains even higher loads during athletic activity, predisposing athletes to a greater probability of joint dysfunction and pain. The diagnosis and treatment of SI joint dysfunction remains controversial, due to complex anatomy and biom...

Although the sacroiliac joint (SIJ) is conventionally accepted as a sagittal joint with little mobility in other planes, recent research has shown evidence for reduced hip abduction and axial rotation in patients with sacroiliac pain. A sample of healthy individuals was investigated to determine whether innominate motion about the sacroiliac joint can be predicted from abduction and external ro...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to pilot test our study procedures and estimate parameters for sample size calculations for a randomized controlled trial to determine if bilateral sacroiliac (SI) joint manipulation affects specific gait parameters in asymptomatic individuals with a leg length inequality (LLI). METHODS Twenty-one asymptomatic chiropractic students engaged in a baseline 9...
