title: [Transcutaneous radiofrequency destruction of the articular nerves in treating low back pains].
abstract: Lumbar pain is a most common suffering which frequently becomes chronic. In the mechanical low back syndrome caused by an abnormality in the intervertebral joints, lumbar pain may be rather easily differentiated from pain induced by to spinal root compression due to discal hernia or intervertebral foramen stenosis. The absence of benefits from conservative treatment of lumbar pain caused by intervertebral joint abnormalities is an indication for the highly effective and low-traumatic surgical technique transcutaneous radiofrequency destruction of intervertebral facette nerves. The technique yields good results in small displacements of the lumbar vertebra which cannot undergo orthopedic interventions, as well as in severe vertebral deformities which cause a higher load on the intervertebral joints.
