Lumbosacral transforaminal epidural steroid injection (TFESI) is helpful for the treatment of lumbosacral radicular pain, but in case of intravascular injection, infrequently serious complication can be developed. Against this backdrop, if there is any difference of frequency of intravascular injection incidence during S1 (sacrum 1) TFESI between method using medial approach and method using lateral approach in anteroposterior view, the result can be crucial factor in selecting the approach. In addition, appropriate volume of injection will be checked in each approach.
