Summary

Chronic knee osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common diseases with increasing prevalence in advanced age. Knee OA results in movement restriction, sleep disturbance, and disability. Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is employed often in the symptomatic treatment of knee OA. It has been estimated that 3.4 million TKAs will be performed in the year 2030 in the United States alone. Many studies report rewarding outcomes for patients, but other research shows there are many patients that remain dissatisfied post-arthroplasty.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether genicular radiofrequency ablation can relieve chronic post-arthroplasty knee pain.
