MIS Sacroiliac Joint Fusion Market: Does it Grow? Who are the Companies Leading the market?

Sacroiliac joint fusion is a surgical procedure which fuses the iliac bone (pelvis) to the spine (sacrum) for stabilization. It is performed for a variety of conditions including trauma, infection, cancer, and spinal instability. Sacroiliac joint fusion may be performed as a minimally invasive surgical (MIS) procedure or as an open surgical procedure requiring a larger incision and subsequent increased recovery time.

Percutaneous SIJ fusion is a MIS approach in which instrumentation involving cages or screws, with or without bone graft, are placed percutaneously in order to achieve a fusion. Fusion of the SIJ, combined with bone grafts and other metal implant devices, is an extensive procedure; generally considered a salvage procedure when all other measures have failed to provide pain relief.

Does the MIS Sacroiliac Joint Fusion Grow?

North American is the largest market of MIS Sacroiliac Joint Fusion, with a market over 100 mill USD with a yearly growth of 10%.

According to Market Study Report LLC, the size of the MIS Sacroiliac Joint Fusion global market was accrued at 150 Million USD in 2019 and is presumed to accumulate over 360 Million USD by the year 2024.The MIS Sacroiliac Joint Fusion market is expected to grow with a CAGR of 15.5% during the period of 2019-2024.

Additionally, clinical evidence demonstrates that SIJF is an effective procedure.The popularity of sacroiliac joint fusion has grown rapidly over the past five years, with SI-Bone’s Ifuse device leading the market. Recently approved by the US Food and Drug Administration, the company has released a new version of their traditional triangular titanium implants. The second-generation products (Ifuse-3D implants) are made using additive manufacturing, and incorporate a fenestrated design and porous surface.However, following the rapid expansion in recent years, market growth is expected to stabilize over the coming years.

VIDEO Animation: PSIF system

17.-EVOL-SI | Cutting Edge Spine

The EVOL®SI Joint Fusion System improves osseointegration through the combination of high wettability and optimal surface chemistry (with optimized nano-roughness) that mediates bioactivity and specific protein absorption to the implant. These properties regulate cell behavior and influence tissue regeneration by increasing the osteoblast functions, thus building more bone faster.

Compared to traditional coatings, where bone anchors to the coating, this HA Surface does not act as an interface separating bone from implant. The nano-thin surface enables newly formed bone to grow directly into the micrometer topography, or roughness, of the implant surface, thus providing mechanical stability with no risk of cracking or delamination of the implant.

18.- SiCure™ Sacroiliac Fusion System | Alevio Spine

The SiCure™ Sacroiliac Fusion System is a second-generation comprehensive sacroiliac joint fusion system. The design is unique in that either lateral or posterior approach.

21.- Catamaran | Tenonmed

The Catamaran Sacroiliac Joint Fixation System (CAT SIJ Fixation System) was developed as a less invasive alternative to traditional
open posterior surgical SIJ fusion. The Catamaran Sacroiliac Joint Fixation System (CAT SIJ Fixation System) includes the Catamaran SIJ Implant and associated surgical instruments: an Access Set, a Drill/Delivery and an Accessory Set and an Extraction Set.

23.- DIANA|SIGNUS

DIANA is a simple and safe technique for fusion of the sacroiliac joint based on distraction interference arthrodesis, while accounting for neurovascular and osseous structures. Targeted, reproducible placement of the DIANA implant is achieved with sequential instrumentation, performing ligamentotaxis to stabilize the joint during the fusion process.DIANA Surgical Technique.pdf Download

Extremely safe dorsal approach away from the nerves and large blood vessels; the stabilizing ligamentous apparatus remains intact; bony and muscular structures are not impaired; controlled bony fusion; correctable (malpositioning of the implant will still not harm the nerves or blood vessels); the position can be controlled radiologically on three different planes during surgery; the essential markers of the instruments are visible; improvement in back AND leg pain has been demonstrated.

The DIANA implant is anchored at the hardest point of the pelvic bone. It ensures that the short distance between the painful joint surfaces restored by surgery is maintained during the healing phase, when the new bone graft material is transformed into solid bone and thus stabilizes the joint.
The tapered titanium implant has self-tapping, hollow threads at the front end, enabling it to be rapidly and securely screwed into the desired position.The other, wider end has stronger threads and a broader supporting surface (shoulder), preventing the implant from sinking into the softer bone of the sacrum. Along with specially designed instruments, allowance is therefore made for the asymmetrical bone densities between the sacrum and ilium.

24.- M.U.S.T. SI Screw System | Medacta

The M.U.S.T. SI Screw System is intended for sacroiliac joint fusion for skeletally mature patients suffering from sacroiliac joint disruption, degenerative sacroiliitis and degenerative sacroiliac arthritis, secondary to pelvic disruption.
