US Guided Sacroiliac Joint Injection

November 15, 2025 updated by: Sherine Elsherif, Alexandria University

Predictors of Outcome for Sacroiliac Joint Injection With Local Anaesthetic and Corticosteroids in Sacroiliac Joint Pain Patients

Sacroiliac joint (SIJ) pain is one of the underappreciated causes of low back pain. Recent studies have reported excellent outcomes after Ultrasound (US) guided SIJ injection with local anesthetics and corticosteroids, but these studies are characterized by wide variability in selection criteria and patient characteristics; therefore, there is a need to determine whether any demographic or clinical variables can be used to predict US-guided SIJ injection outcomes.
