Brief summary
Sacroiliac joint pain reduction and radiographic evidence of SIJ fusion will be collected to evaluate clinical performance of the SImmetry Sacroiliac Joint Fusion System.
Detailed description
This is a prospective, non-randomized post market study designed to evaluate fusion and pain reduction following the use of the SImmetry System. This study will be conducted at up to 40 sites and 250 total subjects will be enrolled and followed through 24 months. Data will be collected pre-operatively, implant, and at specified follow-up time points through 24 months.
Interventions
DEVICESImmetry
The SImmetry device is commercially available. The implanted devices consist of a range of threaded, self-tapping, cannulated implants designed to transfix the sacrum and ilium, providing stability for intra-articular fusion. The SImmetry Surgical Instruments include standard manual surgical instruments used to access and prepare the sacroiliac joint space for intra-articular fusion.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| SI Joint Fusion | 12 months | Fusion of the SI joint at 12 and 24 months, defined as presence of a continuous segment of solid bridging bone that extends from the sacrum to the ilium. This will be assessed by an independent core laboratory |
| SI Joint Pain Reduction | 6 Months | SI joint pain reduction evaluated by use of Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for back pain for comparison of baseline to 6 months. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| SI Joint Pain Reduction | 12 months | SI joint pain reduction evaluated by use of Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for back pain for comparison of baseline to all follow-up visits. |
| Disability | 6 months | Functional ability as determined by the Oswestry Disability Index |
| Quality of Life | 6 months | Quality of life as determined by EQ-5D |
