Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a common interventional procedure, typically performed on the nerves in your spine. In the past few years, pain specialists have begun performing a modified version of this procedure on other joints like the knee.
An RFA on a knee can be an option for someone who is not a candidate for joint replacement, does not respond to other treatment such as pain medication, or wants to postpone surgery. It is also an option for geriatric patients that do not want to go through extensive recovery and rehabilitation.
