Biomechanics of the sacroiliac joint: surgical treatments

A Joukar, A Kiapour, H Elgafy, DU Erbulut… - International Journal of …, 2020 - ijssurgery.com
Background: Fixation is one of the most common surgical techniques for the treatment of
chronic pain originating from the sacroiliac joint (SIJ). Many studies have investigated the …

Biomechanics of the sacroiliac joint: anatomy, function, biomechanics, sexual dimorphism, and causes of pain

A Kiapour, A Joukar, H Elgafy, DU Erbulut… - International journal of …, 2020 - ijssurgery.com
Background: The sacroiliac joints (SIJs), the largest axial joints in the body, sit in between
the sacrum and pelvic bones on either side. They connect the spine to the pelvis and thus …

Optimal satellite rod constructs to mitigate rod failure following pedicle subtraction osteotomy (PSO): a finite element study

AS Vosoughi, A Joukar, A Kiapour, D Parajuli… - The Spine Journal, 2019 - Elsevier
BACKGROUND CONTEXT Pedicle subtraction osteotomy (PSO) is a challenging restoration
