First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether adding a nerve-freezing procedure (genicular nerve radiofrequency ablation) to standard knee replacement surgery could reduce pain and improve knee function afterward. Seventy adults with advanced knee osteoarthritis took part. The goal was to see if the combined approach leads to better recovery than knee replacement alone.
