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.

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.

Compared to the lateral technique group, patients undergoing Sacrix MIS SIJ fusion through the posterior oblique technique experienced greater pain relief and demonstrated a trend toward better functional improvement, with shorter operative times and duration of hospital stay.

Posterior oblique approach for SIJ fusion is a minimally invasive procedure that proved to be effective and safe in this series. It also resulted in solid radiographic fusion, decreased pain, and improved function
