What you need to know about
SI joint instability and more.
What is SI Joint Dysfunction?
The sacroiliac joints (SI) connect the spine to the legs, absorbing shock forces with limited mobility. However, SI instability can cause severe pain. While advances in surgical techniques have helped with lumbar spine instability, SI joint instability remains relatively unaddressed. Many patients run out of options once conservative treatments have failed to offer continued relief from painful SI symptoms.
The opinions expressed are the professional medical opinions and the clinical observations of licensed and practicing physicians and may not necessarily represent claims made by CornerLoc.

Take A Closer Look:
The CornerLoc™ SI Joint Stabilization System has been specifically designed to achieve optimal stabilization and fusion potential, with minimal surgical invasiveness. After careful preparation of the SI joint, two CornerLoc™ GRAFTS are placed orthogonally within the Si joint, effectively creating immediate joint stability and an ideal environment for fusion.
Post-Operative Expectations
Patients are typically walking within hours of their SI joint fusion procedure. Patients typically can return to work and perform light activities after two weeks. The majority of patients report a significant and lasting reduction of their pre-operative SI joint pain following recovery from most SI joint fusion procedures1, 2, 3. More in-depth recovery guidelines will be provided by your physician.
