Summary

Analyze the results of cooled radiofrequency in patients with chronic knee pain after one year of follow- up.

Conditions

  • Osteoarthritis, Knee

Interventions

PROCEDURE

cooled radiofrequency ablation of genicular nerves

Cooled RF consists of creating an injury in the nerve trough a high frequency flow. Unlike conventional RF, in cooled RF through a closed circuit where intravenous flows, we can create an injury for a longer period of time, at a lower temperature (standard RFA 90º C, cooled RFA 60º C) and within an area 8 times larger. As the lesion is spherical, and larger (about 10-12 mm in diameter), the chances of neurolysis of the nerve increase.
