Knee and Hip Ablation for Osteoarthritis

Knee and hip ablation for osteoarthritis is a minimally invasive procedure that may be used to alleviate pain and improve mobility in patients with osteoarthritis. This treatment involves inserting a small device into the region of affected joint and using heat to destroy the nerves that transmit pain sensation. This can help to reduce pain and improve joint function.

Patients with osteoarthritis or pain following joint replacement may be good candidates for knee and hip ablation. This treatment may be an option for patients who have tried other treatments without success, including medication, physical therapy, and surgery. Before undergoing this procedure, patients will undergo a thorough evaluation to determine if they are a good candidate for the treatment.
