Comparison of blunt and sharp needles for transforaminal epidural steroid injections.
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to compare the sharp and blunt needles in order to determine the incidence of complications during transforaminal anterior epidural steroid injections. METHODS In this retrospective study, 185 cases that undergo transforaminal epidural steroid injection with sharp or blunt needles were evaluated between June 2004 and December 2008. Patients age, sex, diagn...
متن کاملBlunt or sharp needles for transforaminal epidurals?
To the Editor: Derby et al (1) noted that in 2003 approximately half (14/29) of International Spinal Injection Society (ISIS) instructors and the majority (14/17) of poll respondents reported performing transforaminal epidural steroids injections. Do the authors have any data as to needle type (blunt vs sharp) used? If ISIS instructors persist in performing transforaminal injections with sharpt...
متن کاملInadvertent Subdural Injection during Cervical Transforaminal Epidural Steroid Injection
Serious complications following cervical epidural steroid injection are rare. Subdural injection of local anesthetic and steroid represents a rare but potentially life threatening complication. A patient presented with left sided cervical pain radiating into the left upper extremity with motor deficit. MRI showed absent lordosis with a broad left paramedian disc-osteophyte complex impinging the...
متن کاملComparison of Incidences of Intravascular Injection between Medial and Lateral Side Approaches during Traditional S1 Transforaminal Epidural Steroid Injection
Purpose. Intravascular injection rates are higher during traditional S1 transforaminal epidural steroid injection (TFESI) compared with lumbar transforaminal injection. We compared the incidences of intravascular injection between the medial and lateral approaches to the S1 foramen during S1 TFESI. Materials and Methods. A total of 139 patients underwent one or more TFESIs (170 total injections...
متن کاملComparison of incidence of intravascular injections during transforaminal epidural steroid injection using different needle types
BACKGROUND Infrequent but serious complications of transforaminal epidural steroid injection (TFESI) occur due to inadvertent intravascular injections. A few studies reported that the different needle types can influence on the occurrences of intravascular incidence in TFESI. This study prospectively evaluated whether short-bevel needle can reduce the incidences of intravascular injection of TF...
