L5-S3 Compared to L5-S2 Full-Endoscopic Rhizotomy and Ablation Under a Navigation System for Sacroiliac Joint Pain: A Comparative Study
L5-S2 FERA demonstrated clinical outcomes similar to those of L5-S3 FERA for pain relief, functional improvement, and satisfaction. Omitting S3 lateral branch rhizotomy did not adversely affect the outcomes. Surgeons may consider omitting S3 lateral branch rhizotomy for SIJ pain treatment, thereby reducing operative time while maintaining patient benefits.
