Abstract
Thoracic posterior joints are putative pain generators; yet there is a paucity of information to assist the clinician in the diagnosis and treatment of dorsal spine pain. A safe and effective bent needle injection/arthrography technique is described which can assist in the diagnosis of some patients with thoracic zygapophyseal joint dysfunction.
