Sacroiliac joint dysfunction and facetogenic pain have been shown to be the source of pain for up to 20% & 30% of patients suffering from low back pain respectively. Patients who suffer from these conditions typically receive therapeutic injections which temporarily address the problem but require long-term repeat treatments. Traditional, open surgery has been performed to address these conditions but is limited in practice due to its complexity, high complication rate and generally poor outcomes.
