Sacroiliac joint morphologic changes from infancy to adulthood
Résumé
Report of sacroiliac morphology changes during growth is limited in the literature and the interest of such morphology and its consequence for surgery is increasing. Aims of this work are (1) to anatomically define the sacroiliac joint (SIJ), and (2) to assess the influence of growth on the sacroiliac morphology and the pelvic parameters. Forty-nine young subjects from 6 months to 18 years old (y/o) and 20 adults aged from 18 to 50 y/o were selected from our institutional patient database. They underwent a computed tomography (CT) examination on a 128-MDCT (GE Healthcare Optima CT660). Transverse CT image datasets were reconstructed, anonymized, and segmented with ITK-SNAP. Landmarks and surfaces were selected and a SIJ orientation analysis was performed using costumed Python scripts. The subjects were divided into four groups: infants (1.9±1 y/o), children (6.9±1.7 y/o), adolescents (13.7±1.8 y/o), and adults (27.3±5.6 y/o). Differences between SIJ orientation were found significant between young subject groups for synovial sacrum SIJ orientation (p
