About the LinQ™ SI Joint Stabilization System
The LinQ™ SI Joint Stabilization System provides SI joint dysfunction patients with a minimally invasive solution to combat pain. After a thorough diagnostic process, physicians can help alleviate, and in many cases, eliminate chronic pain by placing a single LinQ™ allograft into the SI joint.
This single implant helps patients immediately regain joint stability – and with its patented large graft window and drill-less technology, the LinQ™ SI Joint Stabilization System helps create an ideal environment for long-term fusion.
The entire procedure is done through a 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 their physician’s orders.
