A novel approach to ultrasound-guided L3-4 thoracolumbar fascia injection for chronic pain after spine surgery: a prospective pilot study
The US-guided bilateral L3-4 mid-thoracolumbar fascia injection facilitated a uniform dispersion of the medication, akin to the gentle spread of a goose feather, between the erector spinalis and quadratus lumborum muscles across the affected lumbar vertebrae. This technique demonstrated substantial clinical effectiveness in patients who were unresponsive to standard US-guided MBB.
