Narrative review assesses outcomes and safety of navigated and robotic-assisted SIJ fusion, suggesting future investigations are needed.
Navigated and robotic-assisted SIJ fusion represent significant technical progress. While short-term clinical outcomes remain comparable to fluoroscopic MIS fusion, navigation and robotics improve safety, reproducibility, and radiation safety. Future multicenter trials should assess long-term outcomes, cost-effectiveness, and integration of augmented reality, AI, and novel implants to define their optimal role in sacroiliac joint surgery.
