Si joint dysfunction
ANATOMY
• Plane synovial joint → modified amphiarthrodial
joint
• Stable, rigid; relatively immobile; allowing effective
load transfer
• Each of two SI joints are about 1-2 mm wide
ANATOMY
• The sacroiliac joint can be considered as two
joints: the iliosacral and the sacroiliac
• The term iliosacral implies the innominates
moving on the sacrum. Conversely, the term
sacroiliac implies the sacrum moving within
the innominates.
LIGAMENTS
Primary Ligaments
a. Anterior sacroiliac
b. Posterior sacroiliac
c. Interosseous
LIGAMENTS
Secondary Ligaments
a. Sacrotuberous
b. Sacrospinous
PUBIS SYMPHYSIS
• Cartilaginous joint
• Joins 2 ends of pubic bones
• 3 ligaments associated are
• - superior pubic ligament
• - inferior pubic ligament
• - posterior ligament
SACRALISATION
UNILATERAL BILATERAL
LUMBARIZATION
FUNCTION
• Connects spine to pelvis
• Absorbs vertical forces from spine and
transmitting them to pelvis and lower
extremities
AXIS OF SI JOINT
MOVEMENT OF SI JOINT
Physiologic
1. Bilateral anterior
sacral nutation
2. Bilateral posterior
sacral nutation
MOVEMENT OF SI JOINT
Physiologic
3. Left sacral
torsion on left
oblique axis
4. Right sacral
torsion on right
oblique axis
MOVEMENT OF SI JOINT
Physiologic
5. Anterior sacral
nutation with
exhalation
6. Posterior sacral
nutation with
inhalation
Non physiological movt.
• Left sacral torsion on right oblique axis
• Right sacral torsion on left oblique axis
• Left unilateral anterior nutation
• Right unilateral anterior nutation
• Left unilateral posterior nutation
• Right unilateral posterior nutation
MOVEMENT OF SI JOINT
MUSCLES THAT REINFORCE
AND STABILIZE SIJ
• Erector Spinae
• Lumbar multifidi
• Abdominal muscles:
External & Internal
obliques
• Rectus abdominis
• Transversus abdominis
• Hamstrings such as
biceps femoris
CAUSES OF SACROILIAC
DYSFUNCTION
• TRAUMATIC
• MECHANICAL
a) HYPOMOBILE or SUBLUXATED
b) HYPERMOBILE or MICROTRAUMATIC
• SYSTEMIC
SYSTEMIC CAUSES OF
SACROILIAC DYSFUNCTION
• Inflammatory conditions
Ankylosying spodylitis, Rheumatoid Arthritis
• Joint infections
Brucellosis, Tuberculosis
• Metabolic disorders
Gout, Hyper parathyroidism
• Miscellaneous
Osteitis condensans illi, Paget’s disease
• SACROILIAC DYSFUNCTION
CLINICAL SIGNS OF
SACROILIAC DYSFUNCTION
• Stiffness and pain with walking
• Pain opposite side with walking
• Pain same side with walking
• Unilateral pain below L5
• Pain with sit to stand
• Coccydynia (torsions)
• Groin pain
SACROILIAC SOMATIC
DYSFUNCTIONS
• Forward sacral torsion
• Backward sacral torsion
• Bilateral sacral anterior nutation
• Bilateral sacral posterior nutation
• Unilateral sacral anterior nutation
• Unilateral sacral posterior nutation
EXAMINATION
ANTERIOR GAPPING TEST
test is positive if unilateral gluteal or posterior leg pain is
produced indicating a sprain of the anterior sacroiliac
ligaments.
FABER (PATRICK'S) TEST
positive test is indicated by the test leg's knee remaining
above the opposite straight leg.
PRONE LIMB LENGTH TEST
GILLET TEST (ONE-LEG STORK TEST)
If the SIJ on the side on which the knee is flexed moves
slightly or in a superior direction, the joint is considered
hypomobile, which indicates a positive test
PIEDALLU'S SIGN OR SEATED FLEXION TEST
If one PSIS, usually the painful one, is lower than the other, the
patient is asked to perform trunk flexion while remaining seated.
If the lower PSIS becomes the higher one on forward flexion, the
test is positive.
GAENSLEN'S TEST
pain indicates positive test pain caused by ipsilateral si joint
lesion, hip pathology, or L4 nerve root lesion.
Yeoman's Test
Pain localized to the SIJ indicates pathology of the
anterior sacroiliac ligaments.
Prone Knee Bending (Nachlas) Test
If the problem is a hypomobile SIJ, the ipsilateral ASIS rotates
forward, usually before the knee reaches 90 degrees flexion
DYSFUNCTIONS
1. ROTATORY
DYSFUNCTION OF
INNOMINATE
a) ANTERIOR OR
FORWARD ROTATED
INNOMINATE
DYSFUNCTIONS
1. ROTATORY
DYSFUNCTION OF
INNOMINATE
b) POSTERIOR OR
BACKWARD ROTATED
INNOMINATE
2. SACRAL BASE DYSFUNTION
a) BASE ANTERIOR
2. SACRAL BASE DYSFUNTION
• a) BASE POSTERIOR
3. SACRAL TORSIONS
• They occur as fixations on either of the
oblique axes, usually during the gait cycle, and
are held in this dysfunctional position by the
piriformis.
• Torsions might be thought of as half the
sacrum flexing and the other half extending
on one of the two oblique axes.
3. SACRAL TORSIONS
• Forward torsion to the Left on the Left oblique axis. (LOL)
3. SACRAL TORSIONS
• Forward torsion to the Right on the Rt. oblique axis.(ROR)
3. SACRAL TORSIONS
• Backward torsion to the Right on the left oblique axis.(ROL)
3. SACRAL TORSIONS
• Backward torsion to the Left on the Right oblique axis.(LOR)
4. UNILATERAL SACRAL FLEXIONS
• Sacral flexion lesions might be thought of as failure of one
side of the sacrum to extend (counter nutate) from the
flexed (nutated) position. Rt. And Lt. flexion
5. PUBIC SHEAR LESIONS
a) SUPERIOR PUBIC
SHEAR
b) INFERIOR PUBIC
SHEAR
• Pubic shears are sliding
of one joint surface in
relation to the other in
either a superior or an
inferior direction.
6. INNOMINATE SHEAR
Superior Innominate Shear (Upslip)
Inferior Innominate Shear (Downslip)
