Our objective is to find a more exact treatment program in long-term treatment of lumbar facet osteoarthritis. We adopted a long-acting local anesthetic, hormone dubbed blocking solution, treated 34 patients suffered from lumbar facet joint osteoarthritis by blocking under C-arm X-ray machine perspective guidance. It was found that the puncture success rate reached 100%. The effective rate is (31/34) 91.2%. Followed-up for more than six months, 3 cases in 31 cases recured, and the recurrence rate was 3.2%. Complications of this method were only 2.94%. C-arm X-ray machine guided blocking treatment of lumbar facet joint osteoarthritis is economic, practical, conveniently operating and effective. It is an ideal treatment option for the treatment of lumbar facet joint osteoarthritis.
