Abstract
MARTINEZ-SUAREZ, J. E.; CAMBLOR, L.; SALVA, S. and JONGH, W. A. de. Thermocoagulation of lumbar facet joints: Experience in 252 patients. Rev. Soc. Esp. Dolor [online]. 2005, vol.12, n.7, pp.425-428. ISSN 1134-8046.
Two hundred fifty two patients with diagnosis of lumbar facet joint pain underwent the surgical technique of percutaneous thermocoagulation of the facet joint. Our major aim was to relief pain in those patients. We assess the effectiveness of the technique, with 74.7% of surgical success, and we also describe different aspects such as: age, sex, causes and segmentary pain topography.
Keywords : Facet joint thermocoagulation.
