Texas' First Sacroiliac Joint Fusion Performed by Dr. Moustafa Ahmed at CLS Health

A Breakthrough Lower Back Pain Treatment in Houston

In a significant advancement for pain management, Dr. Moustafa Ahmed has performed the first Sacroiliac (SI) Joint Fusion surgery in Texas at CLS Health’s Webster office. This minimally invasive procedure represents a breakthrough for patients struggling with chronic lower back pain when other treatments have failed.

Understanding Sacroiliac Joint Fusion

SI Joint Fusion is designed to stabilize the sacroiliac joint, which connects the spine to the pelvis and is often a source of persistent pain. Using advanced technology and precise techniques, Dr. Ahmed emphasizes safety, accuracy, and patient comfort to achieve the best possible outcomes.  

Advanced Technology for Precision and Safety

The surgery was supported by PainTEQ specialists and cutting-edge instruments to ensure accuracy and effectiveness. With local anesthesia and C-arm fluoroscopy guidance, Dr. Ahmed precisely located the SI joint and placed a bone graft to encourage bone growth and long-term joint stability. 

A Minimally Invasive, Patient-Centered Approach

The procedure involves only a small incision, careful navigation of muscle layers, and the placement of a stabilizing graft. Sutures and surgical glue are used to ensure smooth healing, while continuous patient monitoring provides safety and comfort throughout recovery.
