Low back pain is a problem that modern life is increasingly bringing to the fore. It can happen to anyone at least once in their life. In one out of every three people, it can become severe enough to require treatment. So people get back pain. It is known that one out of every four patients with low back pain has a problem in the sacroiliac joint.
The most important joint in the human body, the sacroiliac joint, which allows people to stand. Diseases of this joint, which separates man from animals, have been known since the time of Hippocrates. Problems may occur in this joint in one out of every five people. Even a very small difference in length, especially between the legs, can cause a significant problem.
Another factor that triggers the problem in this joint is the large number of surgeries that put platinum on the spine in recent years. Five years after such a platinum surgery, at least half of the patients develop a problem in this joint. In other words, there is a problem in the sacroiliac joint in most of the patients who have had more than one back surgery but the pain has not gone away, which is also called the failed back surgery syndrome.
The reason why diseases in this joint, especially joint failure, are overlooked is that it is difficult to diagnose. When we say it is difficult to diagnose, we mean that the doctor cannot perform a detailed examination in the very limited time that he can spare for his patient. Confirmation of the diagnosis is possible with a needle inserted into the joint space, not with radiological examinations. Unfortunately, this process requires a lot of experience from the performer.
Moreover, the operations performed in the diseases of this joint are not something that every surgeon can handle. Therefore, in recent years, it has been overshadowed by herniated disc surgeries, which everyone has been able to operate almost everywhere in recent years.
However, in recent years, sacroiliac fusion surgery can be performed as a closed surgery, that is, without making large skin incisions and without blood. Thus, the risk is reduced and the patient can stand up immediately. In fact, in one of every seven patients, the procedure is performed bilaterally, that is, on the right and left.
However, the primary problem is the difficulty, even impossibility, of obtaining the instruments used for this closed surgery mentioned above in our country. We can overcome this problem through a private company.
