The standard surgery used to address SI joint pain is sacroiliac joint fusion. The goal of this procedure is to completely eliminate movement at the sacroiliac joint[1] by grafting together the ilium and sacrum.

Sacroiliac fusion involves the use of implanted screws or rods, as well as a possible bone graft across the joint. Minimally-invasive procedures have been developed in recent years that improve outcomes in pain and disability, and reduce recovery time. 1 Ledonio CG, Polly DW, Swiontkowski MF, Cummings JT.
