Genicular nerve radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is not associated with known clinically significant complications.
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.
关节内神经射频消融术(RFA)不会引起已知的严重临床并发症。
虽然关节内神经 RFA 通常被认为是一种安全的操作,但已有报告关节感染、鹅足腱损伤、三度皮肤烧伤以及严重血肿和/或关节积血等并发症。和其他新兴技术一样,也可能存在其他尚未报告的并发症。
