OBJECTIVES The sacroiliac joint (SIJ) is an important and significant cause of low back pain. We sought to quantify the burden of disease attributable to the SIJ. METHODS The authors compared EuroQol 5D (EQ-5D) and Short Form (SF)-36-based health state utility values derived from the preoperative evaluation of patients with chronic SIJ pain participating in two prospective clinical trials of ...

Background. Puerperal diastasis of the pubic symphysis is a rare intrapartum complication. This report presents the case of a woman who experienced synchronous pubic symphysis and sacroiliac joint separations induced by vaginal delivery. Case. A 32-year-old woman (gravida 2, parity 2) with an uncomplicated prenatal course developed acute-onset anterior pubic pain during vaginal delivery. The pa...

The sacroiliac joint (SI joint) is a known source of low back pain. In the absence of validated physical signs and imaging studies, the diagnosis of SI joint pain can be secured by positive response to SI joint intra-articular infiltration with local anesthetics. The current anatomical and histological knowledge concerning intra-articular structures of the sacroiliac joint is insufficient to ex...

BACKGROUND To enhance the understanding of the pathophysiology of women with peripartum pelvic pain, it is necessary to couple anatomical insights with relevant clinical research. In this context, the long dorsal sacroiliac ligament is especially of interest because it was noticed that women diagnosed with peripartum pelvic pain frequently experience pain within the boundaries of this ligament....

This study was a case series design. The objectives of the study were to investigate the ability of a motor learning intervention to change aberrant pelvic floor and diaphragm kinematics and respiratory patterns observed in subjects with sacroiliac joint pain (SIJP) during the active straight leg raise (ASLR) test. The ASLR test is a valid and reliable tool to assist in the assessment of load t...

BACKGROUND Clinical guidelines are defined as systematically developed statements to assist practitioner and patient decisions about appropriate health care for specific clinical circumstances. The clinical guideline industry has been erupting even faster than innovation in health care, constantly adding unhealthy perspectives with broad and complex mandates to health care interventions. Clinic...

Early diagnosis of spondyloarthritis (SpA) is becoming more important as new medical treatment options have become available to treat inflammation and delay progression of the disease. Increasingly, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the sacroiliac joints is obtained for early detection of inflammatory changes, as it shows active inflammatory and structural lesions of sacroiliitis long before ...
