In advanced knee osteoarthritis, postural stability is also disturbed. There are some concerns about performing radiofrequency ablation to genicular nerves since this may further decrease the postural stability of the patient. The aim of this study is to see if application of genicular radiofrequency causes a significant change in postural stability.
