For a long period, blind epidural was a routine practice, until the fluoroscopy added the advantage of confirmation of placement. The literature supports that the fluoroscopic-guided techniques have much higher chances of delivery of the medication into the epidural space. This is the target area ...
Fluoroscopically-guided lumbosacral transforaminal epidural corticosteroid injections are effiective in the treatment of acute/subacute lumbosacral radicular pain, and in preventing future surgeries.
