US Patent 12083026 Sacro-iliac joint stabilizing implants and methods of implantation

Methods of implanting SI joint stabilization implants across a SI joint from a dorsal approach. The methods may include advancing an elongate implant positioning guide in a dorsal trajectory into an ilium of a subject, directly engaging a guide interface member of a SI joint stabilization implant with the positioning guide to restrict movement of the implant with respect to the positioning guide in at least one direction, and advancing the implant across the SI joint while guiding the implant with the positioning guide.
