    Area of Science:

    • Minimally Invasive Spine Procedures
    • Interventional Pain Management
    • Biologics in Orthopedics

    Background:

    • Chymopapain injection therapy offers a less invasive alternative for treating herniated discs.
    • Accurate delivery of chymopapain to the target disc is crucial for therapeutic efficacy.
    • Needle deflection by the annulus fibrosus can compromise accurate disk targeting.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a simplified and safe approach for lumbar disk chymopapain injection.
    • To present a technique that overcomes the challenge of needle deflection during disk penetration.

    Main Methods:

    • A technique for lumbar disk access is detailed, emphasizing safety and simplicity.
    • The method is adapted based on the specific intervertebral disc being targeted.
    • Strategies are employed to prevent needle deflection by the annulus fibrosus.

    Main Results:

    • The described approach facilitates a simplified and safe entry into the lumbar disk.
    • The technique effectively mitigates needle deflection issues encountered with the annulus fibrosus.
    • This method enhances the precision of chymopapain delivery.

    Conclusions:

    • A simplified, safe, and effective technique for lumbar disk chymopapain injection has been developed.
    • This approach addresses a key technical challenge, improving the reliability of the procedure.
    • The described method holds promise for enhancing outcomes in disk-injection therapy.
