Lower back pain is one of the most common types of back pain in adults and can be debilitating. There are many different diagnoses, but the sacroiliac (SI) joint is involved in more than 15% of cases. The joint connects the hip bones to the spinal column and as a consequence experiences constant strain. Inflammation of the SI joint is correspondingly painful. In chronic cases which are not well controlled by physiotherapy and painkillers, surgical fixation of the joint remains the only option. The market for SI joint fixation is large and is growing disproportionately compared to the back orthopaedic market as a whole
