Percutaneous RF facet denervation is a valid, low-risk means of treating 'mechanical' pain syndromes in previously unoperated patients with back and/or leg pain. In the series of 126 patients, reported long-term overall success was 42%. With improved technique and patient selection, success rate has increased to 67%. This procedure appears to be increasing in clinical value as a more conservative means of treating certain back pain problems, thus avoiding definitive surgery.
经皮射频小关节去神经术是一种有效、低风险的治疗方法，用于治疗既往未接受过手术的背痛和/或腿痛患者的“机械性”疼痛综合征。在这组126例患者中，报告的长期总体成功率为42%。随着技术的改进和患者选择的优化，成功率已提高到67%。作为一种治疗某些背痛问题的更保守方法，该手术的临床价值似乎在不断增加，从而避免了确定性手术。
