Minimally invasive sacroiliac joint fusion: Primary endpoint results from the prospective, multicenter STACI study
Interim trial results support the safety and effectiveness of lateral SIJ fusion performed by IPM physicians. Clinically significant improvements in pain and disability are commensurate with results from surgeon-performed randomized trials and published literature. Results should be reproduced in randomized trials.
