Abstract: A system and method for fusing the sacroiliac joint is described herein. The system includes a first sacrum anchor and a first compression anchor for implantation through a bore in the iliac bone into engagement with the first sacrum anchor. The first sacrum anchor includes an external thread portion, and an internal channel defined by an inner surface. The inner surface includes an internal thread portion. The first compression anchor includes an outer thread portion along part of the shaft configured to engage the internal thread portion of the first sacrum anchor. Rotation of the first compression anchor draws the first compression anchor toward the first sacrum anchor when the outer thread portion of the first compression anchor is threadably engaged with the internal thread portion of the first sacrum anchor. This configuration allows a user to dial in the appropriate compression on the SI joint.

Abstract: Sacroiliac (SI) joint implants for promoting SI joint fusion and methods of their delivery are described herein. The SI joint implant has a spacer operatively coupled to a planar member having tapered holes to receive fastening elements. When placed in the SI joint, the spacer engages the articular surfaces of the SI joint while the plate traverses the SI joint. The implant is held in place fastening elements, which are inserted through the tapered holes in the planar member. The implant is delivered via an inferior inlet MIS procedure, wherein the SI joint is accessed through an inlet inferior to the SI joint.

Abstract: A system for preparing the sacroiliac (SI) joint for an SI joint fusion, and optionally delivering an implant to the SI joint, is described herein. The implant is inserted via an inferior inlet approach. A sliding joint finder is inserted into the joint, followed by insertion of a working cannula. The working cannula is operatively coupled to the sliding joint finder, in that it is configured to fit over the sliding joint finder, allowing subsequent removal of the sliding joint finder, and providing a hollow cavity for joint fusion preparation, decortication and insertion of an implant. This system and method provides a less invasive and safer approach for fixing an SI joint or delivering an implant to the SI joint than currently available methods.
