Today on BackTable MSK : Glade Roper, MD — MSKIR discusses his experience with spinal tumor radiofrequency ablation (RFA), his role on a multidisciplinary oncology team, and key considerations when planning for ablation. Dr. Roper emphasizes that RFA should be viewed as an adjunct to radiation therapy rather than a replacement. He reviews the procedural steps for RFA and explains the basic mechanisms of the device. Additionally, Dr. Roper shares his experience with placing intrathecal pain pumps post-ablation to manage residual pain. Finally, he offers advice on patient and caregiver education, focusing on how to deliver comprehensive, easily understandable information.

This week's BackTable Brief: If your patients are living with painful diabetic neuropathy that is refractory to medications, spinal cord stimulation (SCS) may be an option. Dr. Dana Dunleavy interviews Interventional Radiologist Dr. Blake Parsons about managing diabetic neuropathy in a multidisciplinary setting and the role of SCS. They also discuss new research findings that support the use of spinal cord stimulators and their broader impact on quality of life, including reduced fall risks and improved foot sensation for patients with diabetes.

This week on BackTable MSK: How are orthobiologics changing the back pain treatment algorithm? I recently had the chance to sit down with Dr. Guilherme Ferreira Dos Santos to discuss the management of lumbar pain and the role of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections. Dr. Santos is trained in Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation as well as Interventional Pain Medicine, and currently practices at the Hospital Clinic of Barcelona. Dr. Santos gives an overview of discogenic pain. Each patient case is unique, as pain can be caused by single level or multilevel disease, pure disc disease, or additional facet joint disease. Additionally, discogenic pain can affect young, active patients and typically worsens with spinal flexion. Dr. Santos highlights important steps for PRP preparation and techniques for injection. He also gives advice for counseling patients about the timeline to pain relief, longevity of treatment effects, and options for refractory pain. Finally, Dr. Santos encourages the audience to stay tuned for the upcoming RESPINE multicenter trial results. Listen below to learn more!! J.
