[0023]This disclosure relates to the general field of spinal surgery and specifically to a device and method for use by which a surgeon can stabilize and fuse the sacroiliac joint using a minimally invasive technique. The same technique can be applied to sites of non-healing fractures at other sites. The disclosed device and method fuses the sacroiliac joint using a minimally invasive technique. Once the joint is identified, a guide needle is passed into the joint and the position of the needle is confirmed. A cannulated drill is then disposed over the needle, and advanced until the drill is at the level of the joint. The drill is then activated and a receiving bed is cored out. A sacroiliac fusion stabilizer (SIFS) is then disposed over the needle and passed into the joint at the level of the receiving bed. The SIFS is then rotated a partial turn and projections of the SIFS engage the bone and lock the SIFS into position. The SIFS is then filled with bone fusion substrate. The SIFS...
