Introduction The sacroiliac SI joint articulates surfaces of the sacrum and the ilium and functions as the transition between the spine and the pelvis.
Structure and Function The SI joint is a diarthrodial synovial joint. Embryology At two months of gestational age, the sacroiliac joint can be identified. Blood Supply and Lymphatics The common iliac artery bifurcates into the external and internal iliac artery. Nerves The sacroiliac joint is well innervated but the pattern of innervation varies among individuals. Physiologic Variants Accessory sacroiliac joints have been reported in the current literature. Some causes of sacroiliac joint dysfunction include the following: Trauma Increased mobility of the SI joint may be the result of injury to the supporting ligaments.
Hypermobility Hypermobility can also be genetic, a term often labeled "multidirectional instability" for ligamentous laxity at multiple joints, not strictly the sacroiliac joint. Degeneration Structural abnormalities of the SI joint may also cause dysfunction.
Inflammation Inflammation of the sacroiliac joints is termed sacroiliitis. Review Questions Access free multiple choice questions on this topic. Comment on this article.

Diagnosing Sacroiliac Joint Pain. In the adult, the shape of the sacroiliac joint is oblong, but it is altered by an indentation that is concave in back and convex in front. More simply put, the joint is shaped much like an ear or a kidney bean.
The SI joint is interesting because it is classified as one type of joint in front and another in back. In front, it is a synovial joint discussed above as diarthrodial.
This type of joint typically has a lot of movement, although not in the case if an SI. Your shoulder and hips are synovial joints—think of the big movements they can make.
In back, the SI joint is classified as a syndesmosis. This simply means the two bones sacrum and ilium are held together by ligaments. We talked about which ligaments those are above. The surfaces of the sacrum and the ilium—where the meeting between the two occurs—are covered with cartilage the sacrum is lined with a different type of cartilage than the ilium , as well as a number of bony contours that resemble projections and valleys. These are located in front only.
The surface contours of each bone comprising the SI joint connect with one another; they interlock to form the front of the joint. SI joint integrity is maintained solely by this interlocking mechanism and the ligaments. As far as muscles go, portions of the gluteus maximus and the piriformis muscles cross the SI joint. The SI joint bears the weight of the spine. It is responsible for transmitting this weight into the area between the hip and foot inclusively, which is known as the lower extremity.
It also transmits twisting rotational forces from the lower extremity that go all the way up into the spine. For example, during walking, just as you finish taking a step forward, your back leg is extended behind you and you are pushing off the big toe. At this point, there is minimal space between the two bones of the SI joint. Sacroiliac joint. Reference article, Radiopaedia. Musculoskeletal , Spine. URL of Article.

The sacrococcygeal symphysis sacrococcygeal articulation, articulation of the sacrum and coccyx is an amphiarthrodial joint , formed between the oval surface at the apex of the sacrum, and the base of the coccyx.
How do you sit with SI joint pain? Sit in positions that relax your lower back while it remains supported, using a cushion or a rolled towel behind your back; sit upright when the back is not supported. You can also stretch your hips by sitting high enough so that your knees are lower than your hips or by crossing your feet under your chair.
What is the SI joint made of? The sacroiliac joint simply called the SI joint is the joint connection between the spine and the pelvis. It is a large diarthrodial joint made up of the sacrum and the two innominates of the pelvis. Each innominate is formed by the fusion of the three bones of the pelvis: the ilium, ischium, and pubic bone. What are the types of joints? Joints are formed where bones come together.
The six types of synovial joints are the pivot, hinge, saddle, plane, condyloid, and ball-and-socket joints. Pivot joints are found in your neck vertebrae, while hinge joints are located in your elbows, fingers, and knees.
Saddle and plane joints are found in your hands. What aggravates SI joint pain? Activities that place repeated stress on the joint , such as contact sports, regular heavy lifting, or labor-intensive jobs. Sacroiliac joint pain is one of the most commonly misdiagnosed causes of lower back pain. Sacroiliac joint dysfunction does not usually show up on X-ray, MRI or CT scans and so this makes it difficult to accurately diagnose.
