Lumbar plexus block surface landmarks as assessed by computed axial tomography in adult patients with scoliosis: a case series

Conclusions In patients with scoliotic disease of the spine, there is wide variability in the bony surface landmarks. The location of the LP is generally more medial than expected when compared with both modified and traditional landmarks. A review of the imaging studies and the pre-procedural ultrasound assessment of the anatomy should be considered prior to needle puncture.
