CBS Publishers & Distributors Clinical Notes On The Disorders Of Sacroiliac Joints by HN Bajaj
Clinical Notes on the Disorders of the Sacroiliac Joints Pain in the low back remains one of the commonest afflictions of mankind. It can be due to a variety of causes, a significant but often overlooked contributor are the sacroiliac joints—the two paired joints in the low back which connect the axial skeleton to the appendicular.
Though classical anatomy identifies that the sacroiliac joints function in isolation, the reality is that they are the participants in a larger complex—the lumbosacral-iliac complex.In this web of ligaments,muscles and osseous structures,the sacroiliac joints play a role in synchrony with the working of the other structures.
The sacroiliac joints are the site of disease in tuberculosis, sometimes in pyogenic arthritis. They are involved in a variety of seronegative disorders as well. An often overlooked problem is the iatrogenic involvement that occurs after fusion of L5 and S1 vertebral bodies.
This book looks at the sacroiliac joints as a contributor to back pain: Its distinguishing features, investigations and treatment are discussed.This is a concise and a small book and hence the title Clinical Notes on the Disorders of the Sacroiliac Joints. It is, however, packed with relevant information, and includes exercises and complementary treatments such as radiofrequency ablation and prolotherapy.
