Abstract

Background: Chronic low back discomfort is frequently brought on by the sacroiliac joint. The SIJ may be involved in 15–30% of patients who attend for examination of low back pain. Aim of the work: This study evaluates sacroiliac fixation in patients with sacroiliitis associated with L5 lythesis. Patients and methods: In this prospective and retrospective study, 10 individuals with spinal disorders were examined. Ten patients with mechanical sacroiliac joint discomfort underwent sacroiliac joint fixation. Results: Overall, this series' results showed that 7 patients (or 70%) had fully resolved their problems, 2 patients (or 20%), partially improved, and 1 patient (or 10%), had not. Conclusions: Sacroiliac fixation was safe and efficient in the treatment of patients with sacroiliitis associated with L5 lythesis. Currently, one of the most widely used methods for spinopelvic fusion is S2AI screw fixation. Significantly fewer clinical and radiographic problems are linked to the S2AI method. We need further comparison research with larger sample sizes and longer follow-ups to corroborate our findings and pinpoint the risk factors for unfavourable outcomes.
