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>Popliteal nerve plexus neurolysis. (a) An ultrasound-guided lateral-to-medial needle trajectory underneath the biceps femoris, gastrocnemius, and plantaris. The final needle position targets at the intercondylar bony surface. BF: biceps femoris; G: lateral head of gastrocnemius; P: plantaris; LFC: lateral femoral condyle; MFC: medial femoral condyle; A: popliteal artery; bold white arrow: needle; thin arrow: needle trajectory. (b) The anteroposterior and the lateral views of the needle placement for the popliteal nerve plexus neurolysis.</div>
