This is a clinically valuable report because until now there was no reconstructive surgery to revise direct lateral implants other than removal with potential neurovascular risks. This is the first article to demonstrate a lateral-oblique transfixation technique with two variable-threaded screws for successful salvage of SIJ pseudoarthrosis after direct lateral fixation without implant removal. The Sacrix technique achieved immediate stability and long-term fusion documented on computed tomography (CT) scan as early as  6 months.

CT Scan and Clinical Outcomes of Novel Lateral-Oblique Percutaneous Sacroiliac Joint (SIJ) Fixation: Technique and Literature Review

Kingsley R. Chin^, Fabio J. Pencle, Jason A. Seale, Deepak K. Pandey

This pilot study demonstrated the feasibility and effectiveness of a new percutaneous lateral-oblique SIJ fusion technique with a threaded compression screw done safely in an ASC. Patients demonstrated early pain relief and long-term fusion of their SIJ.

Nanofuse Unique Combination of Synthetic Bioactive Glass plus DBM in Cervical Spine Fusion

Our study demonstrated 100% fusion rate.  VAS neck and NDI outcomes improved by 89% and 68% respectively with the use of combination biologic. Signs of fusion were seen as early as 6 weeks with anterior bridging bone
