Cooled Radiofrequency (RF) Ablation for Knee Osteoarthritis
If you are suffering from chronic knee pain due to Osteoarthritis (OA) and traditional treatments like physical therapy or injections haven’t provided enough relief, Cooled Radiofrequency (RF) Ablation might be the next step.
This minimally invasive, non-surgical procedure is designed to provide long-term pain relief by targeting the nerves responsible for sending pain signals from the knee to the brain.
How Does it Work?
1. Precision Targeting: We identify the position of genicular nerves (the sensory nerves around the knee) under image guidance.
2. Thermal Interruption: Using specialized equipment, the system delivers radiofrequency energy to create a “treatment zone.”
3. Nerve Deactivation: This process safely deactivates the pain-transmitting nerves while the cooling technology protects the surrounding tissues.
Benefits of Cooled RF Ablation
• Non-Surgical: No incisions are required.
• Rapid Recovery: Most patients return to their normal activities within 24–48 hours.
• Effective Pain Management: Many patients experience significant pain reduction for longer period of time.
• Improved Mobility: By reducing chronic pain, you can regain the ability to walk, climb stairs, and stay active.
• Decreased Medicine Dependency: Reduces the need for long-term dependence on oral pain medications.
What to Expect During the Procedure
The procedure is performed in a well-equipped Operation Theatre to enhance patient safety.
• Step 1: The area is numbed with a local anaesthetic.
• Step 2: Using fluoroscopic (X-ray) guidance, the needles are precisely placed near the genicular nerves.
• Step 3: The Cooled RF energy is applied. You may feel a slight warm sensation in the area of the needle during the procedure.
Is This Treatment Right for You?
Cooled RF Ablation is often recommended for:
• Patients with moderate to severe Knee Osteoarthritis.
• Those who wish to avoid or delay total knee replacement surgery.
• Patients who have had knee replacement but still experience persistent pain.
• Individuals who cannot undergo surgery due to other medical conditions.
