Diagnostic Sacroiliac Joint Injections: Is a Control Block Necessary?
Background: Sacroiliac joint (SIJ) pain presents as a deep and somatic pain, predominantly affecting the lower back and buttock and referring down the leg, sometimes as far as the foot. Given that the features of SIJ pain are non-specific and that this referred pain is similar to lumbar facet joint and lumbar disc pain, diagnostic local anesthetic injections (diagnostic blocks) into the SIJ are...
متن کاملFluoroscopic Sacroiliac Joint Injection: Is Oblique Angulation Really Necessary?
BACKGROUND The conventional technique for sacroiliac (SI) joint injection involves aligning the anterior and posterior aspects of the SI joint under fluoroscopic guidance and then entering the SI joint in the most caudal aspect. OBJECTIVE We wish to highlight that there is no added advantage to aligning both the anterior and posterior joint lines of the SI joint as it is time consuming, assoc...
متن کاملFluoroscopy-Guided Sacroiliac Joint Injection: Description of a Modified Technique.
Sacroiliac joint (SIJ) pathology is a common etiologic cause for 10 - 27% of cases of mechanical low back pain (LBP) below the L5 level. In the absence of definite clinical or radiologic diagnostic criteria, controlled blocks of the SIJ have become the choice assessment method for making the diagnosis of SIJ pain. The SI joint is most often characterized as a large, auricular-shaped, diarthrodi...
متن کاملRadiation dose reduction in CT-guided sacroiliac joint injections to levels of pulsed fluoroscopy: a comparative study with technical considerations
BACKGROUND The sacroiliac (SI) joint is frequently the primary source of low back pain. Over the past decades, a number of different SI injection techniques have been used in its diagnosis and therapy. Despite the concerns regarding exposure to radiation, image-guided injection techniques are the preferred method to achieve safe and precise intra-articular needle placement. The following study ...
متن کاملValue of Examination Under Fluoroscopy for the Assessment of Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction.
BACKGROUND Pain emanating from the sacroiliac (SI) joint can have variable radiation patterns. Single physical examination tests for SI joint pain are inconsistent with multiple tests increasing both sensitivity and specificity. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the use of fluoroscopy in the diagnosis of SI joint pain. STUDY DESIGN Prospective double blind comparison study. SETTING Pain clinic and ra...
