A technique for radiofrequency localization and coagulation of articular nerves supplying the spinal facets is described and results are reported from a series of 207 patients followed 6 to 21 months (mean 31 months). Relief of pain was achieved in 79% of previously unoperated patients, in 41% of those with laminectomy but no fusion, and in 27% of those with an earlier fusion. No neurological complications were encountered.
本文描述了一种用于对供应脊柱小关节的关节神经进行射频定位和凝固的技术，并报告了对207例患者进行随访6至21个月（平均31个月）的结果。在先前未接受手术的患者中，79%的患者疼痛得到缓解；在接受过椎板切除术但未进行融合的患者中，这一比例为41%；在先前进行过融合手术的患者中，这一比例为27%。未出现神经并发症。
