Percutaneous lumbar medial branch neurotomy: a modification of facet denervation.

Spine 1980 March
Percutaneous lumbar medial branch neurotomy is a technique for facet denervation in which the target is specifically the medial branch of the dorsal ramus. The radiology of the technique is illustrated, and the technical aspects of the procedure are described.
