On the surface of the bone is the articular cartilage. The SI joint depends primarily on the stout ligaments that cross it for stability. The bones also have shallow interdigitations that correspond on each side, thus conferring some bony stability. Finally, there are the muscles (dynamic stability) and fascia—especially the thoracolumbar fascia. Figure 1 illustrates the bones that comprise the SI joint. Figure 1: The bones of the sacroiliac joint. Figure 2 illustrates the stout ligamentous stabilizers of the joint. These include: The anterior (front) and posterior (back) sacroiliac ligaments running from the sacrum to the ilium; The sacrotuberous ligaments running from the sacrum to the ischial tuberosity; The sacrospinous ligamen...
