Abstract
This chapter will discuss the generalities of common types of complications as they pertain to any general orthopedic surgical procedure and some suggestions as to how to avoid certain pitfalls that may lead to such complications. The discussion will then focus on specific complications for sacroiliac joint (SIJ) fusion as they pertain to the approach used to obtain that fusion. Considerations for salvage are then discussed.
