The pain generated from the sacroiliac joint results in postero-superior iliac and back pain. Pain can also spread to the abdominal and groin area, leg, and even foot. About a third of patients with sacroiliac disorders have leg pain. Some cases may present symptoms similar to those of sciatic nerve impairment (Figs. 92.1, 92.2, 92.3, 92.4, 92.5, 92.6, 92.7, 92.8, 92.9, and 92.10).
