Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is one of the most commonly conducted surgeries in the United States. Typically, TKA is conducted to relieve pain from patients with long-standing osteoarthritis. Postoperative knee pain is a common issue after TKA. For some patients, postoperative knee pain exceeds the normal 3-6-month phase and becomes chronic. Pain is typically managed with the use of medications and physical therapy. In this case, we describe the use of peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) of the saphenous and superior lateral genicular nerves for a patient experiencing chronic postoperative knee pain utilizing SPRINT PNS technology.
全膝关节置换术(TKA)是美国最常开展的手术之一。通常,TKA用于缓解长期患骨关节炎患者的疼痛。术后膝关节疼痛是TKA后常见的问题。对一些患者而言,术后膝关节疼痛超过了正常的3至6个月阶段并变为慢性疼痛。疼痛通常通过药物和物理治疗来控制。在此病例中,我们描述了利用SPRINT PNS技术对一名患有慢性术后膝关节疼痛的患者使用隐神经和膝上外侧神经的外周神经刺激(PNS)。
