Hybrid SI Joint Fusion
with TransLoc 3D™
Combining the optimal fixation of a lateral compression screw with the highly porous intra-articular implant, TransLoc 3D™ Hybrid procedure offers advanced fixation and an ideal environment for fusion.
Why Choose the TransLoc 3D™
Hybrid Configuration?
Discover the advantages of combining lateral oblique plus intra-articular fixation for optimized SI joint fusion.
- Enhanced Stability — Multi-planar fixation across and within the sacroiliac joint improves biomechanical strength.
- Efficient, Minimally Invasive — Safe and streamlined surgical workflow.
- Supports Bone Fusion — Implant’s macro/microporosity promotes long-term biological integration.
- Precision Placement — Intra-articular implant is compressed in-line with screw trajectory for maximum fixation.
- Custom-Fit Options — Variety of implant sizes to tailor treatment to each patient’s anatomy and diagnosis.
This short animation shows how the TransLoc 3D™ Hybrid procedure is designed to stabilize the SI joint and support long-term fusion.
See How the TransLoc 3D™ HYBRID Works
The TransLoc 3D Hybrid SI Joint Fusion System employs a minimally invasive dual approach through two small incisions: one lateral oblique and one intra-articular. A highly porous titanium implant is placed within the SI joint, followed by a TransLoc 3D™ titanium screw that compresses and stabilizes the joint for immediate fixation and long-term fusion. This 3-dimensional hybrid design delivers strength, precision, and flexibility, helping to relieve SI joint pain while reducing tissue disruption and recovery time.

How the TransLoc 3D™ Hybrid
Procedure Is Performed
Combining simplicity with sophistication, learn how hybrid fixation supports long-term SI joint stability.
Step 1: Intra-Articular Implant Placement
Using fluoroscopic guidance, the porous intra-articular implant is inserted into the SI joint at the caudal apex to create an anchor point and ideal scaffold for biological fusion.
Step 2: Lateral Oblique Compression Screw Insertion
A TransLoc 3D™ screw is placed using a lateral oblique approach, compressing the joint onto the intra-articular implant.
Step 3: Final Construct Evaluation
Fluoroscopy confirms implant and screw positioning. The compression threads draw the sacrum and ilium together, stabilizing the construct and promoting fusion.
One System. Multiple SI Joint Fusion Options.
TransLoc 3D™ provides unmatched versatility to meet the needs of real-world patients.
No two SI joints are the same. That’s why TransLoc 3D™ offers one of the most comprehensive SI joint fusion portfolios available, featuring multiple implant sizes and configuration choices. Whether using a standalone screw, a dual-screw construct, or the Hybrid Configuration, TransLoc 3D™ adapts to the patient’s unique anatomy and medical history.
Because personalized care demands personalized tools.

Hybrid SI Joint Fusion: FAQs
Answers to common questions about the
TransLoc 3D™ Hybrid procedure.
Q: How is the Hybrid approach different from traditional SI joint fusion?
A: The Hybrid technique combines lateral oblique screw fixation with an intra-articular implant placed directly into the joint space, providing enhanced stability and greater surface area for fusion.
Q: Is the TransLoc 3D Hybrid procedure minimally invasive?
A: Yes. The procedure is performed through two small incisions using fluoroscopic guidance, minimizing trauma and reducing recovery time.
Q: What kind of recovery should patients expect?
A: Most patients experience improved mobility and immediate pain relief, with full healing and fusion expected to occur over several months.
Q: Is this procedure covered by insurance?
A: Many major insurance providers, including Medicare, offer coverage for SI joint fusion procedures. Consult with your physician to confirm local coverage.
