Motor-Sparing Neural Ablation with Modified Techniques for Knee Pain: Case Series on Knee Osteoarthritis and Updated Review of the Underlying Anatomy and Available Techniques

<div>(a) Denervation of the infrapatellar branch of the saphenous nerve (IPBSN) posterior to adductor tubercle. (b) Denervation of superomedial genicular nerve (SMGN) anterior to adductor tubercle. Note the Doppler signals that signify the vessels accompanying the nerves. AT: adductor tubercle; white arrow: Nimbus® radiofrequency needle. (c) A lateral view of fluoroscope of the knee with needle placement for SMGN (more anterior) and IPBSN (more posterior) denervation as shown at 2.</div>
