infiltrations facetaires

français vers anglais Médecine Médecine (général) surgery/spinal problems
This is a letter from a doctor to a patient who has various lumbar problems and the doctor is discussing possible treatment.

Ce type de lésion est en théorie traitable chirurgicalement par décompression postérieure associée á une fixation chirurgicale vertébrale étendue. Toutefois, votre áge et l’ensemble de vos problèmes médicaux cardiaques (valve aortique et pontage) sont pour moi ces contres indications sévères pour ce type d’intervention.
Par contre, les ***infiltrations facetaires*** qui ont été réalisées chez vous, si elles sont efficaces, demeurent une alternative correcte afin de vous améliorer à moindre risque.


I have no idea what this refers to. Is anyone able to help?

I thought it might refer to "facet joints", but I hadn't yet deduced the injection bit. Thanks - I'll look into it.
Marilyn Amouyal Jun 7, 2006:
An infiltration is a local injection; have you looked at injections into the facet joints?

This last reference concerns complications of such an injection.
"Lumbar facet joint injections are commonly employed in the treatment of low back pain and are considered to be relatively safe with few known complications. We report the case of septic facet arthritis following a periarticular facet injection in a patient with recurrent urinary tract infections. "

Peer comment(s):
agree Michael Barnett : "Injection" outgoogles "infiltration" but I personally like "infiltration" better. I think it better conveys the idea that the joint is being perfused broadly rather than in a pinpoint manner.
