[The crux of the sacroiliac joint]
Abstract:
Pain from the sacroiliac (SI) joint is, along with osteoarthritis of the facet joints, one of the main sources of mechanical low back pain. Here we discuss the negative results of two recent randomized controlled trials in the Netherlands on the use of radiofrequency (RF) denervation to treat low back pain arising from the SI joint. Possible causes of treatment failure are discussed. The authors also discuss the use of an intra-articular injection of the combination of a local anaesthetic and a glucocorticoid as an alternative to RF denervation.
