An Experimental Study to determine the efficacy of fluoroscopy guided intraarticular local anaesthetic and steroid injection for the diagnosis and management of Sacro Iliac joint pain
Dr Lt Col Amit Dua
Abstract :
The Sacroiliac Joint is a common cause of mechanical, axial low backache. Physical examination and provocative tests help in the diagnosis but there can be false positive and false negative results. The targeted fluoroscopic guided intraarticular local anaesthetic and deposteroid injection has been found to be diagnostic and therapeutic. Some recent research has found poor evidence for its effectiveness. In this study we selected 76 patients with 3 or more positive provocative tests and gave them intraarticular injection to find out the efficacy for diagnosis and management of SI joint pain. The patients were followed upto 8 weeks after the injection. Pre and post injection VAS and Oswestry disability Index scores were recorded and compared. We found that the accurately placed fluoroscopic guided intraarticular local anaesthetic and steroid injection to be of good efficacy for the diagnosis and management of SI joint pain.
