Optimal caudal needle angulation for lumbar medial branch denervation: A 3D cadaveric and clinical imaging comparison study

Analysis of cadaver-derived needle angles versus patient-derived data suggests optimization of lumbar MB denervation requires greater caudal angulation to achieve parallel needle placement. Further research is required to assess the clinical implications.
