The aim of this study is to compare between conventional Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) and Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) combined with intra-operative Genicular Nerve Radio-Frequency Ablation (GNRFA), concerning post-operative functional outcome and pain scores in patients with advanced knee osteoarthritis
Including 70 knees randomized using a computer-generated sequence into two groups, the first group underwent TKA combined with GNRFA, and the other group underwent TKA only. All the TKA surgeries were performed by a single surgeon including patients aged from fifty to eighty years with advanced primary knee osteoarthritis from both sexes
