Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
RFA Group
A genicular nerve RFA will be performed prior to planned total knee arthroplasty.
Genicular Nerve RFA
Under fluoroscopic guidance, the target locations based on boney landmarks of the superior lateral (SL), superior medial (SM), and inferior medial (IL) branches of the genicular nerve will be determined. RFA probes will be placed and connected to the RFA generator and the generator is activated. The RFA is performed.
Control Group
A sham genicular nerve RFA will be performed prior to planned total knee arthroplasty.
Sham Genicular Nerve RFA
Under fluoroscopic guidance, the target locations based on boney landmarks of the superior lateral (SL), superior medial (SM), and inferior medial (IL) branches of the genicular nerve will be determined. The RFA probes for the control group will not be connected to the RFA generator (no neurotomy); however, the generator will still be activated to mimic the RFA group.
