The Spinal Simplicity Hero-SI Implant
Combination of Patriot-SI and Liberty-SI Allows Surgeons a Hybrid
SI Joint Fusion Construct Offering New Treatment Options for
Conditions Such as Sacroiliac Disruptions and Degenerative
Sacroiliitis
EDINA,
Minn., July 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Nura Pain
Clinics, the Twin Cities' foremost
multidisciplinary pain management clinic and subsidiary of the
Capitol Pain family of practices, announced today that one of its
interventional pain physicians, Dr. R. Scott Stayner, performed the first sacroiliac
(SI) joint fusion procedure in the Midwest using the Hero-SI Hybrid
Construct by Spinal Simplicity.
The patient struggled with SI joint dysfunction for a long time
and tried everything from medications to physical therapy and
injections to manage their lower back pain, but nothing worked. The
Nura team recommended the Hero-SI joint fusion procedure using the
Patriot SI and Liberty-SI Systems and within a few weeks, the
patient's pain was reduced by 70%, and they were back to doing the
things they previously enjoyed.
SI joint dysfunction refers to improper movement or functioning
of the sacroiliac joints, which connect the spine to the pelvis.
The SI joints are some of the largest joints in the body and are
used during any movement or shifting of the hips. Fifteen to 25% of
chronic lower back pain can be caused by SI joint issues, and this
number might even be higher, as the condition is often
overlooked.
The Patriot-SI Posterior Implant System recently received FDA
510(k) clearance and is designed for sacroiliac joint fusion only
in combination with the Liberty-SI Lateral System. The system
introduces a hybrid SI joint fusion construct called Hero-SI,
offering new treatment options for conditions such as sacroiliac
dysfunction and degenerative sacroiliitis. The Liberty SI System is
a titanium implant designed to compress the SI joint and relieve
pain. The minimally invasive outpatient procedure involves
inserting one or two titanium implants across the SI joint designed
to stabilize and fuse the SI joint. The implant is adjustable to
the patient's anatomy, providing stabilization and compression to
alleviate SI joint pain.
"Utilizing breakthrough technology like the Hero-SI Hybrid
Construct, along with Patriot-SI and Liberty-SI, marks a
significant advancement in our ability to treat chronic SI joint
pain," said Dr. R. Scott Stayner.
"This innovative approach not only provides effective pain relief
but also improves our patients' quality of life by allowing them to
return to their daily activities with reduced discomfort."
At Nura, patients can receive a full range of care, including
medication management, physical therapy, and behavioral health,
coordinated with minimally invasive interventional procedures, all
within the same practice. This approach is a critical advantage for
patients who otherwise may receive fragmented pain management by
multiple providers at multiple locations. For more complex chronic
pain problems, Nura offers a full range of implantable pain control
options, including spinal cord stimulation and targeted spinal drug
delivery devices. Nura's multidisciplinary approach also aims to
dial down the need for opioids to treat pain.
