    PATIL, A. A., OTTO, D., RAIKAR, S. PERIPHERAL NERVE FIELD STIMULATION FOR SACROILIAC JOINT PAIN. NEUROMODULATION : JOURNAL OF THE INTERNATIONAL NEUROMODULATION SOCIETY. 2013. DOI: 10.1111/NER.12030. SUMMARY: THIS STUDY LOOKED RETROSPECTIVELY AT TEN PATIENTS WHO UNDERWENT PNS COMPLETE SYSTEM IMPLANTATION FOR TREATMENT OF SI JOINT PAIN AND HAVE AT LEAST ONE-YEAR FOLLOW-UP. THE AGES RANGED FROM 44 TO 92 YEARS, WITH MEDIAN OF 72.5 YEARS. FOUR PATIENTS WERE FEMALE AND SIX WERE MALE. PATIENTS PRESENTED IN THIS PAPER HAVE A FOLLOW-UP OF 14¿29 MONTHS, WITH A MEDIAN OF 24 MONTHS. PNFS IMPLANT FOR SI JOINT PAIN IS A SIMPLE AND MINIMALLY INVASIVE PROCEDURE TO TREAT CHRONIC DISABLING SI JOINT PAIN. THOUGH THE NUMBER OF PATIENTS IN THIS SERIES IS SMALL AND THE FOLLOW-UP IS RELATIVELY SHORT TO DRAW ANY CONCLUSION, THE RESULT OF THE PRESENT SERIES IS ENCOURAGING. EIGHTY PERCENT OF THE PATIENTS BENEFITED FROM THE PROCEDURE AND 60% HAVE SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT. BY THE VERY NATURE OF THE PROCEDURE, THE LIKELIHOOD OF SERIOUS COMPLICATION IS NEGLIGIBLE. REPORTED EVENT: A PATIENT HAD A LEAD MIGRATION WHICH HAD TO BE SURGICALLY REPOSITIONED. FURTHER INFORMATION HAS BEEN REQUESTED; A SUPPLEMENTAL REPORT WILL BE SUBMITTED IF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION IS RECEIVED.
