Biomechanical Sacroiliac Joint Pain: Diagnosis [Clinical Review Discussion]
Wednesday, July 07, 2010 10:12 AM
( permalink)
Diagnosis of biomechanical sacroiliac joint pain (BSJP) is indeed a difficult task. The closest procedure that can be considered a “gold standard” for diagnosis is injection, with fluoroscopic guidance, of a local anesthetic. Even this method has its shortcomings. A recent systematic review found only moderate evidence for the specificity and validity for diagnostic sacroiliac joint injections (1).
A carefully taken history, with particular attention to the mechanism of injury, and a thoughtful and thorough examination of the area can provide the physician with sufficient information to strongly suspect, but not confirm, a sacroiliac lesion.
