Summary

Radial versus Focused Extracorporeal Shock Wave in the Treatment of Knee Osteoarthritis : A Randomized Control Trial

Conditions

  • Osteoarthritis, Knee

Interventions

DEVICE

Shockwave

Both shockwave interventions will be administered without local anaesthesia. Three sessions will be administered at one-week intervals. During each session, 2000 pulses (1000 shots at the patellofemoral and tibiofemoral borders of the target knee and 1000 shots on the subchondral bone of the medial tibia condyle of the affected knee) will be delivered at 5 Hz. Energy flux density was 0.20 mJ/mm2 for patients in the "focused" group while "radial" shock waves were transmitted with 0.17 mJ/mm2 corresponding to a 3-bar energy level setting.
