Percutaneous Rupture of a Symptomatic Facet Joint Synovial Cyst Using 2-Needle Distention

Abstract

Percutaneous rupture of a symptomatic facet joint synovial cyst using a single-needle technique has been validated as an efficacious form of management. In a select group of patients who fail single-needle percutaneous rupture, a 2-needle approach for percutaneous facet cyst rupture may be considered as an option for management.
