Abstract
This chapter defines the diagnosis of “dysfunctional sacroiliac joint” and explains why a book on this subject matter is needed in the literature. It covers high points in the surgical history of treatment for a sacroiliac joint (SIJ) having this diagnosis and the evolution of that treatment during the past century. After discussing what this book intends to cover, the sources for the material covered in this book are explained. The objectives hoping to be accomplished for both the surgeon treating a dysfunctional SIJ and the therapist rehabilitating a patient after surgical intervention are discussed.
