Genicular Nerve Radiofrequency Ablation for Chronic Knee Joint Pain Using a V-Shaped Active Tip Needle: A Single-Center Retrospective Observational Study
GNRFA using a V-shaped active tip needle is a promising intervention for chronic knee pain, offering significant and sustained pain relief and functional improvement. Larger lesions created by the novel needle may overcome anatomical challenges, though further randomized studies are warranted to validate efficacy and safety.
