    AbstractWe review here the latest studies on efficacy of and techniques employed in radiofrequency neurotomy of the sacroiliac joint. Radiofrequency neurotomy has been shown to have limited evidence in treating sacroiliac joint syndrome. Variability in results has been attributed to individual nerve patterns, improper diagnosis, and selection of patients, as well as variability in the procedure itself. Future studies will be needed to focus on the type of radiofrequency neurotomy and positioning of electrodes to better evaluate efficacy.
