Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Sacroiliac (SI) joint infections are uncommon and present with varied, often perplexing, symptoms.
  • Early diagnosis and management are crucial for favorable outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review clinical manifestations, diagnostic imaging, and treatment outcomes of six cases of SI joint infection.
  • To highlight key diagnostic features and effective treatment strategies.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of six pediatric SI joint infection cases over 15 years.
  • Analysis of clinical presentations, laboratory findings, imaging studies (including technetium bone scan and pelvic X-rays), and treatment regimens.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • Fever (71.4%) and limited ipsilateral hip motion were the most common symptoms/signs.
  • Elevated white blood cell count and erythrocyte sedimentation rate were frequent; blood cultures were positive in 71%.
  • Technetium bone scan was the most specific imaging modality; pelvic X-rays showed sclerosis in one-third of cases.

    • Conclusions:

    • SI joint infections in adolescents can be successfully treated with 3-6 weeks of antibiotics.
    • Patients achieved asymptomatic status and normal physical examinations post-treatment, with no observed long-term sequelae.
