The

iFuse Implant System is intended for sacroiliac fusion for conditions

including sacroiliac joint dysfunction that is a direct result of

sacroiliac joint disruption and degenerative sacroiliitis. This includes

conditions whose symptoms began during pregnancy or in the peripartum

period and have persisted postpartum for more than 6 months. There

are potential risks associated with the iFuse Implant System. It may

not be appropriate for all patients and all patients may not benefit.
