The centerpiece of the data is the PRADA study, the first large-scale CT-based analysis of cortical bone thickness in the sacroiliac joint. Researchers found that the 2.5 mm fixation ridges used in the TRAQ procedure consistently penetrate the cortical bone of both the sacrum and ilium. Dr. Doug Beall noted that this quantitative validation confirms the device's ability to engage bone across diverse patient anatomies.
PainTEQ Unveils New Clinical Data on Sacroiliac Joint Fixation
At the American Society of Pain and Neuroscience 2026 conference in Tampa, PainTEQ presented a suite of studies validating its TRAQ cortical-piercing fixation strategy. The findings, which include large-scale anatomical analysis and biomechanical testing, offer new evidence for the efficacy of posterior approaches in treating sacroiliac joint dysfunction.
Complementing the anatomical data, finite element analysis revealed that both the LINQ and TRAQ systems offer superior resistance to micromotion compared to standard posterior implant designs. Preliminary results from a multicenter review of 154 patients across 61 sites further supported these technical findings, reporting no device-related adverse events and early improvements in patient pain scores. Dr. Dawood Sayed highlighted that the convergence of anatomical research, biomechanics, and real-world clinical experience provides a robust scientific foundation for posterior joint procedures.
