Assessment/Results: Subsequent discography at the L4-5 disk was markedly positive for the production of severe pain consistent with her typical symptoms as compared with control disks at L3-4 and L5-S1. Next, the L4-5 disk was treated with intradiskal pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) ablation ...

Innervation of the sacroiliac joint remains a subject of much debate, but it is generally believed that the lateral branches of S1–S3 and the L4–L5 dorsal rami innervate the posterior sacroiliac joint.4 The lat- eral branches from S1–S3 emerge from the posterior sacral ...

A total of 40 thermal ablations to the facet joints were performed. Each patient was given one thermal ablation on both sides of the vertebral segment, either to the facet joints of L4–L5 or of L5–S1. Pain, according to the visual analogue scale (VAS), was documented before and 6 ...
