Volume injection adhesiotomy.
The authors present a modified method for treating painful cicatrix nerve entrapments. A series of three high-volume injections of local anesthetic, steroid, and hyaluronidase are used to perform percutaneous adhesiotomies and extraneural fibrosis decompression. If special attention is given to the tissue plane level in performing the sequential injections, circumferential neural trunk decompression or cicatrix adhesiotomy can be obtained. The procedure may decrease or eliminate pain sufficiently to circumvent surgical intervention.
