Sažetak
Management of back pain is still full of controversy and existence of “faset syndrome” was questioned for a long time. Today it is accepted as a clinical entity and it is responible for back pain in 5% to 15% of cases. Most commonly, facetogenic pain is the result of repetitive stress and/or cumulative low-level trauma, leading to inflammation and stretching of the joint capsule. No physical examination findings are pathognomonic for diagnosis. The strongest indicator for lumbar facet pain is pain reduction after anesthetic blocks. Because false-positive and, possibly, false-negative results may occur, results must be interpreted carefully. The evidence supporting intra-articular corticosteroids is limited; hence, this should be reserved for those individuals who do not respond well to anestetic only.
