The Prevalence of Sacroiliac Joint Degeneration in Asymptomatic Adults

Conclusions:
Radiographic evidence of sacroiliac joint degeneration is highly prevalent in the asymptomatic population and is associated with age. Caution must be exercised when attributing lower back or pelvic girdle pain to sacroiliac joint degeneration seen on imaging.

Level of Evidence:
Prognostic Level IV. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.
