What is LinQ?
How Does It Work?
This unique procedure is minimally invasive and involves implanting one small bone allograft into the SI joint to stabilize and fuse the dysfunctional joint. The entire procedure is done through a single, small incision on the patient’s back. Patients leave the hospital or surgery center the same day, shortly after surgery and can usually resume daily living activities within a couple of weeks, depending on how well they are healing and based on physician’s orders.

About the Procedure
Day of the procedure
Sacroiliac (SI) joint fusion with LinQ is a procedure performed in a physician’s office or in an operating room with either general anesthesia or MAC (monitored anesthesia care). LinQ is a minimally invasive procedure that requires a small incision (about one inch long) in the lower back.
The physician will insert the LinQ implant into the SI joint, which is designed to stabilize and fuse the affected area. The procedure is usually completed in less than one hour.
Recovery
The recovery time for LinQ is less than most lateral screw and rod-based SI fusion surgeries. In a typical situation, patients walk out of the doctor’s office, hospital or surgery center soon after they have recovered from anesthesia.
There are some light restrictions, and your physician will arrange a follow-up visit to assess your progress and health status (including the status of your incision).
When you return to work and resume other activities will depend on your postsurgical progress and occupation.
