What returned this man to his normal daily activities?

  • I was spending many hours in physical therapy without experiencing any relief.
  • iFuse has returned me to a normal lifestyle.

I suffered with back pain for 30 years before I got help.

I went to my doctor with persistent low back problems several years after undergoing hip replacement surgery. I was spending many hours in physical therapy without experiencing any relief.”

A minimally invasive procedure changed everything.

Due to the severity of the symptoms, my physician recommended sacroiliac (SI) joint fixation/fusion after he diagnosed it using CT guided injection, which provided temporary relief. Within three months following the surgery, I experienced significant relief and was able to resume my normal daily activities. In the subsequent months, I continued to improve, and at one year, the iFuse has returned me to a normal lifestyle.

The iFuse procedure offers several benefits:

  • Minimal incision size
  • Rigid titanium constructs provide enhanced stability
  • Fewer complications
  • Reduced risk of infection
  • Potential for a short recovery
