Endoscopic facet joint denervation for treatment of chronic lower back pain.
Authors
Abstract
Percutaneous radiofrequency is an established method for treatment of chronic low back pain of intervertebral facet etiology. Endoscopic techniques have the advantage of visualization of the facet joint and the dorsal medial ramus and thus allow for more accurate denervation. It was thus hypothesized that pain reduction is vaster and longer enduring.
