Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to a locator for lumbar intervertebral disc radiofrequency ablation. Background Art

[0002] Lumbar disc herniation (LDH) is a highly prevalent degenerative spinal disease. In recent years, the age of onset has tended to be younger, with L4 / L5 and L5 / S1 disc herniations being the most common, accounting for approximately 95% of all LDH cases. For patients with early-stage LDH, percutaneous minimally invasive surgery, especially minimally invasive radiofrequency ablation of the intervertebral disc (PIRFT), has been proven to be an effective minimally invasive treatment alternative to traditional discectomy. However, physicians who are not adequately trained may face potential risks such as high surgical failure rates, residual disc herniation, and nerve root compression when performing PIRFT. In addition, the lack of an intuitive 3D field of view during the puncture operation may increase the risk of accidental injury to important soft tissues such as nerves, dura mater, and blood vessels.
