The patient had left side si joint arthrodesis in (b)(6) 2015 where three implants were placed.The patient also had three iliosacral screws in the joint.The patient later presented to a new surgeon with complaints of left si joint pain.The surgeon determined pseudoarthrosis and joint diastasis of the left si joint.In (b)(6) 2018, the surgeon removed the most cranial and middle positioned implants, removed the iliosacral screws and decorticated the joint.The surgeon then installed two new ifuse implants in different positions to help stabilize the joint.No other preexisting implants were adjusted or removed.The status of the patient following the revision is not known.
