Ultra Sound Guided Genicular Nerves Cooled Radiofrequency Ablation in Total Knee Replacement Surgeries
Total Knee Replacement surgery is common procedure that is usually done for patients suffering from persistent pain with limitation of movement. Unfortunately, they do suffer after the operation as it is associated still with significant pain that affect the rehabilitation plan, hospital length of stay, life style and patient satisfaction. New approaches are rising every day to add to the multimodal management plan. Genicular nerves cooled radiofrequency ablation is a new approach that can be simply done U.S. guided with little side effects, if any, and great results.
