AbstractThe authors performed fluoroscopy-guided sacroiliac (SI) joint injections. With the patient prone and the x-ray tube perpendicular to the fluoroscopic table, the skin was marked over the distal 1 cm of the SI joint. With the tube angled 20 degrees - 25 degrees cephalad, a 22-gauge needle was inserted at the skin mark and advanced perpendicular to the fluoroscopic table toward the posterior joint. Nonionic contrast material was injected to confirm the intraarticular position of the needle. Of 31 SI joint injections, 30 (97%) were intraarticular. Mean procedure time was 108 seconds. This technique is safe, rapid, and reproducible.
