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 plane joint with irregular elevations and depressions that produce interlocking of the two bones.ommon problems of the sacroiliac joint are often called sacroiliac joint dysfunction (also termed SI joint dysfunction; SIJD). Sacroiliac joint dysfunction generally refers to pain in the sacroiliac joint region that is caused by abnormal motion in the sacroiliac joint, either too much motion or too little motion.
