Conditions

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Pulse Radiofrequency

Two 20-gauge radiofrequency needle with 10mm active tip will be placed intra-articularly from an anterolateral and anteromedial approach to target the medial and lateral compartments. Once satisfactory fluoroscopic placement is noted, the Pulsed Radiofrequency treatment will be administered.

PROCEDURE

Standard of Care Intra- Articular Injection

Two 20-gauge radiofrequency needle with 10mm active tip will be placed intra-articularly from an anterolateral and anteromedial approach to target the medial and lateral compartments. Once satisfactory fluoroscopic placement is noted, the Intra-Articular treatment will be administered.

PROCEDURE

Placebo Intra-Articular Injection

Two 20-gauge radiofrequency needle with 10mm active tip will be placed intra-articularly from an anterolateral and anteromedial approach to target the medial and lateral compartments. Once satisfactory fluoroscopic placement is noted, the Placebo Intra-Articular treatment will be administered.
