This case presentation demonstrates radiographic evidence of lesions created
following cooled radiofrequency (cRF) neurotomy of the knee.
A 67-year-old man
presented with chronic left knee osteoarthritis, pain, and disability. After a
failed trial of conservative treatments, the patient underwent diagnostic
genicular nerve blocks and subsequent cRF neurotomy of the left knee. Shortly
after cRF, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the left knee was performed. On
MRI, lesions created by cRF ablation were identified.
The images presented in
this case offer a visual explanation for the success of cRF in the treatment of
knee osteoarthritis. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: V.
