Abstract

A method for treatment of a sacral insufficiency fracture comprises a plurality of steps. A step is performed for placing an access device within a patient. Such placing of the access device includes causing a distal end portion of the access device to traverse through a sacroiliac joint of the patient and to traverse into the patient's sacrum until the distal end portion of the access device is within a region of the sacrum where a sacral insufficiency fracture is located. Thereafter, a step is performed for delivering bonding material though a portion of the access device into the sacrum at the region thereof where the sacral insufficiency fracture is located.
