Sakroiliakální

Sakroiliakální refers to the sacroiliac joint, a joint in the pelvis that connects the sacrum, a triangular bone at the base of the spine, to the ilium, the upper and widest part of the pelvis. There are two sacroiliac joints, one on each side of the body. These joints are amphiarthroses, meaning they are slightly movable joints, and they play a crucial role in load transmission between the upper body and the lower extremities.

The sacroiliac joints are stabilized by a complex network of ligaments, including the anterior sacroiliac ligaments, posterior sacroiliac ligaments, and the interosseous sacroiliac ligaments. These ligaments are among the strongest in the body, providing significant stability to the pelvis. The movement at the sacroiliac joint is minimal, typically involving slight gliding or rotation, and is essential for functions like walking and maintaining balance.

Dysfunction or pain in the sacroiliac joint, often referred to as sacroiliac joint dysfunction or sacroiliitis, can cause lower back pain, buttock pain, and sometimes leg pain. This pain can be a result of too much or too little movement in the joint, or inflammation. Causes can include injury, arthritis, pregnancy, or biomechanical imbalances. Diagnosis typically involves a physical examination and sometimes imaging studies. Treatment options vary depending on the cause and severity of the dysfunction and may include physical therapy, medication, or injections.
