Abstract The occurrence of accessory sacroiliac joints in man has been studied in 153 dried bone specimens (108 male, 45 female). An incidence of 18% was found, of which 35% were of bilateral occurrence. Incidence was not found to be related to sex or laterality. The accessory joints were single, and most occurred at the level of the 1st dorsal sacral foramina. The correlation between the shape and size of the main joint and the occurrence of an accessory joint were found to be not significant, but the size of an accessory joint was positively correlated with the size of the main joint.
