the radiofrequency needle will be advanced percutaneously towards the intermedius genicular nerve on the periosteum of the distal femoral shaft region until bone contact is achieved. In addition to imaging the nerve with ultrasound, sensory stimulation at 50 Hz frequency will be applied with a threshold value less than 0.6 V in order to determine its position more accurately. In order to prevent the inactivation of the motor nerves, the relevant nerve will be tested for the absence of fasciculation in the region of the lower extremity compatible with the application with the stimulation with a frequency of 2.0 V and 2 Hz. Before the activation of the radiofrequency generator, an injection of 1 ml of 2% lidocaine will be made, then the radiofrequency electrode will be added to the needle and the temperature level at the tip of the electrode will be increased to 80 degrees for 2 minutes, the procedure will be performed for each genicular nerve.

The intermedius genicular nerve will be found under US guidance and the genicular nerve will be blocked by injecting 1 ml of 2% lidocaine.

Severity of pain was assessed using the standard 10 cm VAS with 0 meant "no pain" at one end, and 10 meant

"unbearable pain" at the other end

Patello Femoral Pain Intensity Scale to evaluate patients' pain in climbing / descending stairs, squatting, walking, jogging, sprinting, sports, sitting for 20 minutes with knees flexed at 90 °, standing on the knee, resting and resting after an activityStair climbing / descending, crouching, walking, jogging, sprinting, sports, sitting for 20 minutes with knees flexed at 90 °, standing on the knee, resting and resting after an activity, travel 10 cm as standard 0 "no pain" at one end, 10 At the other end it was rated as "excruciating pain" with a total score of 100.

Kuala Patellofemoral Scoring System was used to determine the functional levels of the patients. Participants were evaluated over a minimum of 0 and a maximum of 100 points
