Overview

Sacroiliitis is an inflammation of the sacroiliac joint. Inflammation may occur in the region of the sacroiliac joint. This joint is relatively inflexible and connects the sacrum to the pelvis. It is associated with a variety of infectious or inflammatory conditions. Pain occurs either unilaterally or bilaterally in the low back, buttock and upper leg.
