About this study
Official title: A Prospective, Multicenter, Post Market Surveillance Study on a Modular SI Joint Fusion System
A prospective study on the use of the TransLoc 3D SI Joint Fusion System for patients with sacroiliac joint disruptions or degenerative sacroiliitis.
Read the detailed description

TransLoc 3D SI Joint Fusion System
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Lateral-Oblique TransLoc 3D Screw(s) | Patients receiving the TransLoc 3D Screw(s) version will receive screw(s) placed lateral-obliquely into the intended SI joint. Receives: Device: TransLoc 3D | |
| Lateral Oblique TransLoc 3D Screw with Posterior Device (Hybrid) | Patients receiving the TransLoc 3D Hybrid construct will receive one 3D-printed titanium screw placed lateral-obliquely and one 3D-printed titanium posterior device across the same sacroiliac joint. Receives: Device: TransLoc 3D |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Clinical improvement at 12 months defined by a composite score of functional status, pain, and safety events.
Functional improvement and pain score have long been the standard for SI joint improvement measures. Multiple functional improvement scales will be assessed throughout the study.
Measured: 12 months
Absence of Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
Demonstrate safety as defined by Serious Adverse Events (SAEs).
Measured: From the time informed consent is signed through 12 months.
Secondary outcomes (1)
Absence of study-related adverse events
Evaluate any study-related adverse events for the duration of the study.
Measured: 6 months, 12 months

Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Clinical improvement at 12 months defined by a composite score of functional status, pain, and safety events. (time frame: 12 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 27 Oct 2026.
