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.
