Lumbar facet joint denervation targeting the medial branch in the sub-mammillary fossa: An anatomical optimization study
This anatomy optimization study used dissection, imaging correlation, and high-fidelity modelling to assess cannula placement for capture of the medial branch at the sub-mammillary fossa for lumbar facet joint denervation. Based on the present analysis, refined fluoroscopic landmarks were proposed for further investigation.
