Why carry out this study?

Patients with sacroiliac joint pain have a marked impairment in quality of life that is generally worse than in many chronic health conditions, with a prevalence in the US ranging from 10−30% and rising

Currently, there are different techniques and devices to treat sacroiliac joint pain, and there is no gold standard within current treatments or procedures

What was learned from the study?

In this study we propose a potentially simple and practical technique for performing an ablation of the sacral lateral branches in patients with sacroiliac joint pain

In this technique description, we rely on finder needles, which, when aligned, guide us through the posterior aspect of the sacrum and delimit the sacral foramens medially
