    Dr. Plancarte explains how he has helped to pioneer two important techniques in pain management. He briefly mentions a transdiscal approach he uses to treat neuropathy of the splanchnic nerves and why this technique is a safer way to treat abdominal viscera pain. He also discusses, in detail, how he performs a femoroplasty for treating the pain and preventing the pathological fractures in the upper femur from metastatic cancer. Dr. Plancarte discusses the cement injection and the c-arm imaging used for this novel procedure.
