dc.description.abstractBackground In this study, our aim was to present the 1-year results of the effect of thermal genicular nerve radiofrequency ablation (GNRFA) therapy on pain and functional outcomes in patients with advanced knee osteoarthritis. Materials and Methods After retrospectively examining the hospital records, 49 knees of 35 patients who had undergone thermal RFA of the superior medial, superior lateral, and inferior medial branches of the genicular nerve under fluoroscopic guidance between July 2019 and December 2020 were included in the study. The visual analog scale (VAS) scores of the patients were recorded before RFA, on the day of RFA, and at the first, sixth, and 12th months postoperatively, as well as their Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) scores before RFA and at the 12th month postoperatively. Complications developed after the procedure and during the follow-up period were screened. Results Twenty-five of the patients were females and 10 males, with a mean age of 77.3 +/- 7.9 years (range 61-92 years). The mean VAS score was 8.4 +/- 0.9 before RFA, and as 1.7 +/- 1.0 right after the procedure, 2.4 +/- 1.7 at the first month, 3.4 +/- 1.8 at the sixth month, and 4.4 +/- 1.9 at the 12th month (p < 0.01). In terms of the WOMAC score, the average value was 69.7 +/- 6.4 before the treatment and 36.1 +/- 11.8 at the final follow-up at the 12th month (p < 0.01). No complications were observed in any patient during the treatment or the follow-up period. Conclusion Non-surgical thermal GNRFA therapy of knee osteoarthritis provides significant outcomes in terms of pain and functionality, with no significant systemic or local side effects. Therefore, the technique can be considered as an alternative to other methods when treating advanced osteoarthritis.en_US
