Spine surgeon training equipped IPM physicians to safely performed percutaneous posterior-oblique SIJ fusions with titanium screws plus biologics, achieving low complication and revision rates. These findings highlight the importance of incorporating standardized surgeon-led training and certification programs to bridge the competency gap and ensure safe adoption of interventional spine surgery practices by IPM physicians.
