iFuse Implant System®
Doctors at OrthoWashington are trained in the latest minimally invasive surgical (MIS) techniques, including use of the iFuse Implant System®. The iFuse Implant System® is intended for sacroiliac (SI) joint fusion for some causes of SI joint pain. The iFuse Implant™ is the only SI joint fusion device with clinical studies demonstrating that treatment improved pain, patient function, and quality of life.
Do You Have SI Joint Problems?
The sacroiliac (SI) joint is a significant cause of lower back pain. Like any other joint in the body, the SI joint can be injured and/or become degenerative. When this happens, people can feel pain in their buttock, lower back and legs. This is especially true while lifting, running, walking or even lying on the affected side.
Do you experience one or more of these symptoms:
- Lower back pain
- Sensation of extremity pain: pain, numbness, tingling, weakness
- Pelvis/buttock pain
- Hip/groin pain
- Feeling of leg instability (buckling, giving way)
- Disturbed sleep patterns due to pain
- Disturbed sitting patterns (unable to sit for long periods, sitting on one side)
- Pain going from sitting to standing
SI Joint Fusion with the iFuse Implant System®
The iFuse Implant System® is designed to provide stabilization and fusion for certain SI joint disorders. This is accomplished by inserting triangular-shaped titanium implants across the sacroiliac joint to maximize post-surgical stability and weight bearing capacity. The procedure is done through a small incision and takes about an hour. SI joint treatment using the patented triangular design of the iFuse Implant™ has produced unparalleled clinical results. *
*The iFuse Implant System® is intended for sacroiliac fusion for conditions including sacroiliac joint dysfunction that is a direct result of sacroiliac joint disruption and degenerative sacroilitis. This includes conditions whose symptoms began during pregnancy or in the peripartum period and have persisted postpartum for more than 6 months. There are potential risks associated with the iFuse Implant System®. It may not be appropriate for all patients and all patients may not benefit.
