Superolateral genicular nerve denervation. (a) An axial view to identify the posterior edge of the lateral femoral cortex manifested as an edge separating the lateral side and the posterior side of the cortex. (b) An oblique view at around 45 degrees from the coronal plane shows the femoral shaft. LFC: lateral femoral condyle; white arrow: the proposed needle trajectory toward the target point; asterisk: the final needle tip position when scanning from the oblique coronal plane to the axial plane.
