Evaluation of lumbar transforaminal epidural steroid injection by infraneural route
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RECENT TRENDS IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY - Year 2016, Vol 20, Issue 2
Abstract
Conservative treatment of Lumbosacral radiculopathy mainly includes Transforaminal epidural steroid injection which delivers the inject ate directly to anterior epidural space, thus giving the nerve root a better relief which is mechanically and chemically irritated by prolapsed nucleus pulposus. In this study, we adopted Kambin’s triangle technique which is one of the time tested route, and we designed a novel technique to place the needle at Kambin’s triangle. Totally 30 cases studied and results were analysed by Visual Analog Scale and Oswestry Disability Index both Preprocedural and 12 weeks post procedure. The results were satisfactory and is discussed in this paper.
