Sacroiliac joint fusion is a surgical procedure which fuses the iliac bone (pelvis) to the spine (sacrum) for stabilization. It is performed for a variety of conditions including trauma, infection, cancer, and spinal instability. Sacroiliac joint fusion may be performed as a minimally invasive surgical (MIS) procedure or as an open surgical procedure requiring a larger incision and subsequent increased recovery time.
Percutaneous SIJ fusion is a MIS approach in which instrumentation involving cages or screws, with or without bone graft, are placed percutaneously in order to achieve a fusion. Fusion of the SIJ, combined with bone grafts and other metal implant devices, is an extensive procedure; generally considered a salvage procedure when all other measures have failed to provide pain relief.
According to 360 Market Updates , over the next five years the MIS Sacroiliac Joint Fusion market will register a 15.5% CAGR in terms of revenue, the global market size will reach US$ 360 million by 2024, from US$ 150 million in 2019.
North American is the largest market of MIS Sacroiliac Joint Fusion, with a market share nearly 65% in 2017. Europe is the second largest supplier of MIS Sacroiliac Joint Fusion, enjoying market share nearly 20% in 2017.

3.- SICONUS™ | Camber Medical
Siconus™ provides superior compression across the SI Joint over multiple turns of the threaded fixation implants. When used with the Prolix™ SI Joint Fusion System, the combined solution offers a direct visualization and insertion of a machined allograft spacer into the SI joint, followed by a lateral approach compression and fixation implants. The combined solution may be the only MIS SI Joint Fusion technology to foster a True Fusion of the SI Joint.
The Siconus™ SI Fixation System is intended to provide fixation and stabilization of large bones, including the sacrum and ilium. It is intended for use in skeletally mature patients as an adjunct to sacroiliac joint fusion in the treatment of the degenerative sacroiliitis, or sacroiliac joint disruptions.
Siconus™ was developed under a collaborative agreement with the Institute for Musculoskeletal Science & Education (IMSE), an independent, full-service product development and engineering services company.
Features:
- Threaded conical head design provides consistently high compression over greater degrees of rotation.
- Sizes Available:
o 7mm self-drilling screws in lengths ranging from 30mm to 70mm in 5mm increments
o 11mm self-tapping screws in lengths ranging from 35mm to 65mm in 5mm increments - Fenestration in the 11mm Screw allows for autograft packing.

4.- Blue Topaz™ | OSSEUS
The Blue Topaz™ CompresSIve Sacroiliac Screw System consists of fenestrated, double helix threaded screws with aggressive distal cutting flutes allowing for effortless bone purchase. The implant’s open architecture encourages osseointegration and reduces radiographic signature. Integrated safety features help control targeting and screw insertion while streamlined instrumentation facilitates procedural efficiencies. The implants come in various lengths and diameters to accommodate patient anatomy and optional washers can be used for increased compression across the SI joint.
Benefits:
- Graft Delivery: Positive lock engagement of implant to inserter enables seamless graft delivery.
- Open architecture: Open architecture encourages osseointegration and reduces radiographic signature.
- Bone purchase: Distal cutting flutes and double helix threads allow for effortless bone purchase.
- Efficient: Integrated safety features help control targeting and screw insertion while streamlined instrumentation facilitates procedural efficiencies.

6.- Entasis | CoreLink
Entasis Sacroiliac Joint Fusion System was designed to better address the challenges of SI joint fusion procedures through innovation in the delivery of autograft and compression across the joint. Further innovations also provide improvements in ease of use and decreased operative time for this rapidly growing surgical procedure.
Benefits:
- Featuring circumferential helical graft windows, Entasis is the only SI joint fusion device that self-harvests bone graft while simultaneously compressing the joint, which, according to Wolff’s law, may help aid the fusion process1.
- Entasis supports a percutaneous or open lateral approach, and utilizes a more rigid guide wire to ease device placement. Entasis implants feature self-drilling/self-tapping tips and dual-lead threads allowing easier initial purchase, limited placement trauma as opposed to current market leaders, and faster implantation.
- The system offers three diameters and nine length options, more than any other SI product on the market, enabling the surgeon to better match the device to varying patient anatomies.
- In the event of misplacement, the implant also features an Easy-OutTM interface and matching tools to quickly explant.

7.- SacroFuse | SpineFrontier
Sacroiliac joint disruptions and degenerative sacroiliitis are chronic conditions that can cause pain in the lower back, hips, and legs. SacroFuse helps to eliminate this pain by fusing or fixating the sacroiliac joint, reducing the irregular movement of the joint by stabilizing it to alleviate much of the pain. This is a less exposure outpatient procedure that can dramatically improve patients’ quality of life.SacroFuse is an innovative sacroiliac fusion technology that follows the philosophy of Less Exposure Surgery, and has several features that make it one of the most cutting-edge solutions on the market today
Features:
- Cortical Cancellous Screw Threads
- SacroFuse screws are inserted from a posterior approach, via straightforward, cannulated instrumentation. Cortical and cancellous thread profiles ease insertion and optimize purchase for differing bone densities.
- Fusion Channels
- The inner fusion network funnels bone product from the insertion feature through the implant, directly into the fusion channels. Fusion channels self-harvest autograft during insertion, creating three equally spaced fusion columns and aiding fixation through the ilium, SI joint and sacrum.
- Bulleted Tip
- Bulleted tip and self-cutting features optimize and enable pilot hole creation immediately following the bone needle, eliminating the need for supplementary instrumentation. If desired, this can be a simple, two step process with bone needle/trajectory establishment and screw insertion.
