Preop Cooled Radiofrequency Ablation for Total Knee Replacement
Total knee replacement surgery is commonly performed for patients suffering from severe knee osteoarthritis. However, 20% of patients continue to experience pain after surgery. There is currently no standardized pain management protocol for pain after total knee replacement. Cooled radiofrequency ablation has been used successfully to alleviate spin-related pain and has recently been approved by the FDA to treat chronic knee arthritic pain. This pilot study aims to collect preliminary data on the use of cooled radiofrequency ablation in patients undergoing total knee replacement.
