Video Summary
John O'Donnell discusses diagnosing and treating Bertolotti syndrome in a presentation with colleagues. Bertolotti syndrome stems from an LSTV congenital anomaly and presents with various pain symptoms. Conservative treatments yield minimal relief, while surgical interventions like decompression or fusion offer lasting benefits. Injections are used for diagnosis confirmation, with a study showing significant pain relief in most patients. The injection response can predict successful surgery outcomes, especially for patients with transitional anatomy. Diagram-guided injections play a key role in diagnosis and treatment success, with ongoing studies to optimize injection performance and final outcomes.
