Some issues Dr. Ezell Ezeil Askew JR., MD can help you with:

Sacroiliac (SI) Joint Fusion

The sacrum is the wide, triangular bone at the bottom of the spine. It connects to the pelvis on each side in an L-shaped area called the sacroiliac (or SI) joint. Although it is called a joint, this connection does not really move; instead, it transfers weight from the spine to the legs and helps cushion the spinal column. In some cases, surgery is performed to fuse the joint in place and stabilize it. This surgery is called sacroiliac joint fusion.

Occasionally, the SI joint can become irritated, painful, or arthritic. Problems with the sacroiliac joint can be caused by trauma, infection, or other issues. The main symptom of SI joint damage is pain in the lower back, hips, and thighs. This pain may become worse when rising from a sitting position. When non-surgical treatments such as medications and physical therapy are not effective at relieving pain, surgery may be considered as an option.

During SI joint fusion, a small incision is made on the side of the buttock near the hip. The surgeon removes the cartilage, a firm, smooth substance between the bones. Then the joint is fused by the placement of rods, screws, or plates that hold the sacrum and the pelvis together. This reinforces the joint, stabilizing the pelvis and helping to support the upper body. Patients may be able to stand and walk the very next day after surgery but will need crutches to get around for the first few weeks. Full recovery and return to normal activities takes up to a year as the tissue around the joint grows and heals.

Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS)

If conservative treatment options and other spine surgeries have failed to provide someone pain relief, they may be a candidate for spinal cord stimulation. Spinal cord stimulation is a treatment for chronic back or leg pain. A spinal cord stimulator, which is surgically implanted underneath the skin (subcutaneously), can deliver electrical pulses to the area of pain. These pulses will reach the brain before the pain signals can, so instead of pain, patients will experience a tingling sensation.

To determine if spinal cord stimulation may benefit someone, they will first undergo a trial period. During this period, a temporary electrode lead is placed subcutaneously above the spinal cord, and it is connected to an external stimulator that they will carry with them. The procedure is typically completed within an hour, and patients may return home the same day. After a few days or weeks, the trial stimulator will be assessed for effectiveness. If the trial is unsuccessful, patients may undergo a second trial period, or the leads will be removed, and other treatment options will be considered. If, instead, a patient's pain is relieved during the trial, they will undergo surgery for implantation of a permanent stimulator and leads.

The components of a spinal cord stimulation system include the stimulator, the leads, and the wire that connects the two. Implantation of permanent leads may be percutaneous (through the skin) or involve a surgical incision. The spinal cord stimulator is implanted subcutaneously in the abdomen or buttock. The stimulator is battery-powered and may be rechargeable. If the battery is not rechargeable, it will last around 2-5 years, and a patient will need surgery to replace it.Their doctor will program the neurostimulator following the procedure.

After spinal cord stimulator surgery, patients may be released from the hospital the same day or the next one. In the weeks following the operation, patients will need to work with their doctors to find the optimal settings for their neurostimulator. Activities such as driving, twisting, bending, raising one's arms, sleeping on one's stomach, or lifting heavy objects should be limited.
