Knee Ablation Approaches - 27/09/21

Résumé |
Genicular nerve radiofrequency ablation has quickly become one of the most promising interventions for chronic knee pain secondary to osteoarthritis, with consistent improvements in pain and function. Although there are multiple techniques using slightly variable lesion locations, cannulas, lesion types, and imaging modalities, the clinical effectiveness targeting the anterior branches of the superior medial, superolateral, and inferior medial has reproducibly demonstrated clinically and statistically significant improvements up to 24 months after the procedure with minimal adverse events. This article summarizes the current knowledge of the sensory innervation of the knee joint, the principles of radiofrequency ablation, and the current literature on clinical outcomes.
