Abstract
We report on our experience with cervical analgesic facet joint arthrography in 11 patients (30 joints), of whom nine had previous spinal surgery. In this type of patient we have found the procedure to be a diagnostic test as well as a preoperative guide to the neurosurgeon, but not a permanent therapy.
