    Radiofrequency denervation for osteoarthritic knee pain

    Closed for comments This consultation ended on at   Request commenting lead permission

    Description

    Osteoarthritis can develop in the knee when cartilage covering the ends of the bones becomes worn. This can cause pain and difficulty walking. In this procedure, a needle and probe are used to apply heat (radiofrequency) energy to damage the nerves (denervation) in the knee. The aim is to reduce pain, improve joint function, and delay knee replacement.
