- Brief Summary
· Lumbar radiculopathy affectssignificant number of patients causing severe neurogenic pain. Transforaminalepidural injection of local anaesthetic and steroid is an effective treatmentfor this condition. Subpedicular approach is usually used for transforaminalepidural injection but has the risk of nerve and vessel injury. Kambin describedthe kambin’s triangle, approach through which can lead to less chance of neurovascularinjury. Aim of our study is to compare these two approaches and anycomplication during procedure and post procedure pain relief and anycomplication .
