“…Hare and Haggart published the first clinical series of OCI in 1945 and described 23 cases. All were female, but not all had a history of pregnancy 11 . All subjects reported back pain with 8/23 recalling the onset of symptoms as just prior to or following delivery.…”

Aim: To determine whether subjects with radiological evidence of osteitis condensans ilii exhibit symptoms and signs in common with sacroiliitis when compared with an age-matched control group and to examine demographic features. Methods:The Dunedin Hospital radiology database was searched for all subjects with changes of osteitis condensans ilii over a 10-year period. An age-matched control group with plain X-rays of the pelvis was recruited from the same database. All subjects were sent a questionnaire enquiring about back pain and details of previous pregnancies. Those who responded to the questionnaire were invited for clinical assessment.Results: Thirty-five individuals with osteitis condensans ilii were identified over the 10-year period. All were female and reported prior pregnancy supporting an association between osteitis condensans ilii and pregnancy. Stress testing of the sacroiliac joints was associated with greater tenderness in the osteitis condensans ilii group with a mean of 1.8 positive tests out of a possible 4, compared to 0.8 in the control group (Wilcoxon ranksum test P = 0.02). Comparison between the two groups showed no difference in number of pregnancies, newborn weight, presence of back pain, back pain assessed by the Oswestry Low Back Pain Questionnaire or loss of function using the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index (BASFI). Conclusion:Osteitis condensans ilii is associated with tenderness during sacroiliac joint compression tests and should be considered in the differential diagnosis when sacroiliac joint tenderness is elicited.

“…It has been postulated that the gravid uterus may compress the abdominal aorta and cause ischemia in the inferior portion of the ilium; however, this has never been substantiated [11,12]. Other studies have suggested that mechanical stress of pregnancy itself may overload the sacroiliac articulation and cause the disorder [3,4].…”

“…There was osteoblastic activity in excess of the normal in the form of clumps of osteoblasts and occasional osteoclasts. These findings were thought to represent a lowgrade, non-specific ischaemic process [11]. Gillespie and Lloyd-Roberts obtained a biopsy specimen from a patient with marked bilateral condensans ilii.…”

Purpose Osteitis condensans Ilii (OCI) is an orthopaedic mystery until now and the refractory type poses a great challenge in its management. Surgical resection and sacroiliac arthrodesis are major procedures with no guarantee of success for an unknown disease entity with a normal sacroiliac joint. The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate results of a novel mini-invasive surgical approach for the refractory type after failure of conservative management. Materials and Methods Fourteen females were included with an average age 35.5±5.8 years. Nine cases were multiparous and five were nulliparous. The pathology was bilateral in all cases; however, seven cases suffered bilateral symptoms, while seven cases had only unilateral com-

“…Hare and Haggart reported a series of female patient with this condition, some of whom are nulliparous. They believed that the condition might represent a disturbance of circulation 15 . Jerks et al performed a study in 2009 and showed that 35 female of OCI reported prior pregnancy 16 .…”
