Which Type Of Sacroiliac Fusion Is Effective?
Question: I am considering sacroiliac fusion based on the results of my injections. There are several vendor products that doctors use that I am considering. These include 1) SIFix by Nutech (Cancellous allograft dowel posterior approach into the joints), 2) IFuse by SI-Bone which is a lateral approach using 3 Triangular implants.
Do you know which one is better?
