The Shape of Relief®
iFuse Implant System®
Minimally invasive SI joint fusion surgery to relieve SI joint pain. The iFuse Implant System®, available since 2009, is a minimally invasive surgical (MIS) option designed to provide immediate sacroiliac (SI) joint stabilization and allow long-term fusion.
In a 5-year prospective trial, patients had rapid and sustained relief of SI joint pain.
Also, 95% of the patients were very or somewhat satisfied with the results at 5 years.

How the iFuse Implant System Works
Designed Specifically for Fusion
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. The iFuse Implant System is also intended for sacroiliac fusion to augment stabilization and immobilization of the sacroiliac joint in skeletally mature patients undergoing sacropelvic fixation as part of a lumbar or thoracolumbar fusion. In addition, the iFuse Implant System is intended for sacroiliac fusion in acute, non-acute, and non-traumatic fractures involving the sacroiliac joint.
There are potential risks associated with the iFuse Implant System. It may not be appropriate for all patients and all patients may not benefit. For information about the risks, please visit www.si-bone.com/risks.

Some complications with MIS, as with all surgery, are anticipated. Bruising, discomfort and/or pain and swelling are common experiences immediately post-operative and are anticipated to resolve over time during post-surgical recovery.
Your doctor will advise you on resuming your daily living activities as your healing and symptoms allow. Depending on your occupation, you may be able to return to work at this time. You will need to have additional X-rays taken at 6 months and later at 1 year in order to assess your progress.
Please consult your doctor for more information regarding this procedure, your candidacy for an MIS procedure, and factors that may impact surgical results.
