POSTERIOR FASCIOTOMY IN THE TREATMENT OF BACK PAIN

CLARENCE H. HEYMAN M.D.

By means of the posterior fasciotomy described, good results with lasting relief were obtained in sixteen, or 76 per cent., of the twenty-one cases followed. It is believed that this operation will supplant to a large degree radical arthrodesis of the sacro-iliac joint when this is not the seat of a lesion demonstrable in the roentgenogram.
