title: Sacroiliac Joint Treatment Personalized to Individual Patient Anatomy Using 3-Dimensional Navigation.
abstract: During the past 10 years, the sacroiliac (SI) joint has evolved from being barely recognized as a source of pain, to being a joint treated only nonsurgically or with great surgical morbidity, to currently being a joint treated with minimally invasive techniques that are personalized to the individual patient. The complex 3-dimensional anatomy of the SI joint and lack of parallel to traditional imaging planes requires a thorough understanding of the structures within and around the SI joint that may be at risk of injury. Thus, the SI joint is ideally suited for intraoperative 3-dimensional imaging and surgical navigation when being treated minimally invasively.
