Osteoarthritis is one of the most common causes of work loss and absenteeism. The personal and economic burden of OA is significant, and the effects are felt by individuals with OA, their families, employers, and communities. OA is one of the most common causes of work loss and absenteeism.
Some specific therapies recommended for SI joint pain include: 5
Research has tied rheumatoid arthritis — the autoimmune disease that can cause debilitating swelling of the joints — with increased risk of osteoporosis and accelerated bone loss. Indeed, people over 50 with the condition are more likely to break a bone from falling or even from coughing.
What are the signs and symptoms of OA?
Osteoarthritis -This type of wear-and-tear arthritis can occur in the sacroiliac joints and results from the breakdown of ligaments. Ankylosing spondylitis - This is a type of inflammatory arthritis of the joints of the spine. Sacroiliitis is often an early symptom of ankylosing spondylitis.
The sacroiliac joints link your pelvis and lower spine. They're made up of the sacrum — the bony structure above your tailbone and below your lower vertebrae — and the top part (ilium) of your pelvis. There are sacroiliac joints in both the right and left sides of your lower back.
ICD-10 code M46. 1 for Sacroiliitis, not elsewhere classified is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Dorsopathies .
ICD-10 code M19. 90 for Unspecified osteoarthritis, unspecified site is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Arthropathies .
Anatomy of the Sacroiliac Joint The sacroiliac joint connects the hip bones (iliac crests) to the sacrum, the triangular bone between the lumbar spine and the tailbone (coccyx).
The SI joints are located on either side of the sacral spine and are situated deep in the pelvis. Each SI joint is secured and well protected by strong ligaments. The joint surface extends from the S1 spinal segment to the middle of the S3 spinal segment.
Therefore, it is clear the existing CPT code 27280 describes an open SI joint fusion procedure from multiple different approaches and that CPT code 27279 has been established to describe MIS SI joint procedures that utilize a lateral transiliac approach (Table 1).

You may experience sacroiliac (SI) joint pain as a sharp, stabbing pain that radiates from your hips and pelvis up to the lower back and down to the thighs. Sometimes it may feel numb or tingly, or as if your legs are about to buckle.
