Myth:
Genicular nerve radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is not associated with known clinically significant complications.
Fact:
Although genicular nerve RFA is generally considered a safe procedure, cases of septic arthritis, pes anserine tendon injury, third-degree skin burn, and clinically significant hematoma and/or hemarthrosis have been reported. As with any emerging procedure, other yet-to-be-reported complications are possible.
