The sacroiliac joint or SI joint is the joint in the bony pelvis between the sacrum and the ilium of the pelvis which are joined by strong ligaments. In humans the sacrum supports the spine and is supported in turn by an ilium on each side. The joint is a strong weight bearing synovial joint with irregular elevations and depressions that produce interlocking of the two bones.
