Learning curve of radiology residents during training in fluoroscopy-guided facet joint injections
OBJECTIVE To develop a simulator for training in fluoroscopy-guided facet joint injections and to evaluate the learning curve for this procedure among radiology residents. MATERIALS AND METHODS Using a human lumbar spine as a model, we manufactured five lumbar vertebrae made of methacrylate and plaster. These vertebrae were assembled in order to create an anatomical model of the lumbar spine....

متن کاملResidents' Learning Curve of Lumbar Transforaminal Epidural Steroid Injections.
Background and Study Aims There is a paucity of literature on beginners' training and on its connection with patient safety for transforaminal epidural steroid injections (TFESIs). This study retrospectively assessed the learning curves and associated complications of neurosurgery residents never previously exposed to TFESI and compared them with experienced board-certified faculty neurosurgeon...
متن کاملComparison of Ultrasonography- and Fluoroscopy-Guided Facet Joint Block in the Lumbar Spine
STUDY DESIGN Retrospective study. PURPOSE Facet joint block is performed for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes and generally carried out under computerd tomography (CT) or radiologic fluoroscopy guidance. Ultrasonography-guided facet block has recently been attempted. So, we compared the results of ultrasonography-guided facet joint block with the results of fluoroscopy-guided facet joint bl...
متن کاملUltrasound versus fluoroscopy-guided medial branch block for the treatment of lower lumbar facet joint pain
The aim of this study was to compare the mid-term effects and benefits of ultrasound (US)-guided and fluoroscopy (FL)-guided medial branch blocks (MBBs) for chronic lower lumbar facet joint pain through pain relief, functional improvement, and injection efficiency evaluation.Patients with chronic lumbar facet joint pain who received US (n = 68) or FL-guided MBBs (n = 78) were included in this r...
