“About 25 percent of patients with low back pain actually suffer from SI joint dysfunction,” said Michael Oh, MD, chief of the division of functional neurosurgery at Allegheny General Hospital. “While it’s difficult to diagnose, once it’s identified, it can generally be treated very successfully.”

 

Dr. Oh was a principal investigator of a clinical trial at Allegheny General Hospital comparing patients who undergo surgical treatment with iFuse to those who rely on conservative care.
