Faset sendromunun tedavisinde ultrasonografik görüntüleme eşliğinde lokal steroid enjeksiyonu uygulaması

Öz

Ultrasonografi (US) muskuloskeletal system görüntülemesinde gittikçe önemli bir yer tutmaktadır. Lokal enjeksiyon uygulamalarında tanısal rehber olarak kullanılmakla birlikte, derin eklemlerin görüntülenmesi ve enjeksiyonunda daha az sıklıkta kullanılmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı faset sendromu tanısı ile bir yıldır devam eden bel ağrısı olan 19 yaşında erkek hastada, US eşliğinde yapılan faset eklem enjeksiyonu sonucunu literatür derlemesi ile birlikte sunmaktır.

Local steroid injection accompanied by ultrasonographic imaging in the treatment of facet syndrome

Abstract

Ultrasonography (USG) is becoming increasingly important in visualizing the musculoskeletal system. It is used as a diagnostic guide and in local injection procedures but is less frequently applied in visualizing deep joints and injections. The purpose of this study is to describe the results of USG-guided facet joint injection in a 19-year-old male patient with low back pain for the preceding year and a preliminary diagnosis of facet syndrome, together with a review of the literature.
