Embodiments of the sacroiliac joint fusion screw comprise a shaft having proximal and distal end portions and a head on the proximal end of the shaft. A threaded portion on a distal portion of the shaft is configured to engage a sacrum. A glide zone portion on the shaft between the threaded portion and the proximal end portion is configured to extend through an ilium. The screw can provide stability and compression to the joint.
