Radiofrequency Ablation
adiofrequency ablation is a minimally invasive procedure used to relieve chronic joint pain, particularly knee pain. The treatment works by using controlled heat to target and deactivate small nerve endings around the joint that transmit pain signals to the brain.
The procedure is performed under anaesthesia and guided by X-ray imaging to accurately identify the nerves responsible for pain. Once located, radiofrequency energy is applied to safely disrupt these pain signals while preserving surrounding structures.
Radiofrequency ablation is a relatively quick procedure and is increasingly used as an effective treatment for patients with persistent knee pain who may not yet require joint replacement surgery or who are not suitable candidates for more invasive procedures.
Benefits of Robotic Assisted Surgery
Robotic assisted surgery uses advanced technology to improve accuracy and outcomes in hip and knee replacement procedures.
Greater precision
Robotic guidance allows surgeons to plan and position implants with exceptional accuracy, helping optimise joint alignment and long term function.
Faster recovery
Minimally invasive techniques can reduce tissue disruption, often leading to shorter hospital stays, quicker recovery, and improved mobility after surgery.
