ANTERIOR SACROILIAC FUSION - A NEW VIDEO-ASSISTED ENDOSCOPIC TECHNIQUE

We present a case of sacroiliac fusion performed for an intraarticular osteochondroma of the sacroiliac joint, which was the cause of severe pain and disability. Excision of the lesion and sacroiliac fusion wer e successfully performed by utilizing minimally invasive surgical tech niques. Although the application of this technique requires a dedicate d and highly experienced team, the encouraging result of our first cas e, with minimal morbidity and disability due to the operation, induces us to recommend this technique in sacroiliac fusion, especially when fusion is combined with additional procedures such as drainage, biopsy , or excision.
