S1 foraminal neuroplasty using a reference spinal needle. A technical note
This technique enables safer and more effective S1 foraminal neuroplasty by incorporating depth information through the use of reference spinal needles under fluoroscopic guidance. It facilitates tunnel-view access, which was previously unattainable, and improves procedural outcomes, particularly benefiting clinicians with less experience in fluoroscopically guided interventions.
