Özet:

 


Materials and Methods: This study included patients, who were diagnosed with gonarthrosis grade 3 to 4 according to the Kellgren-Lawrence classification which patients suffered from intractable knee pain, at least for six months despite conservative treatment. The ultrasound-guided PRF on GN (GPRF) was performed in those patients with a reduction of 50% or more visual analog scale (VAS) score after the diagnostic GN block (GNB). VAS and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) scores were evaluated before, and 1, 3, 6 and 12 months after the procedure.

Results: Of the 293 patients included in the criteria, ultrasound-guided GPRF was administered to 232 patients who responded to GNB. While the mean VAS score of the patients before the GPRF was 6.77 ± 1.24, the mean VAS scores at the 1st, 3rd, 6th and 12th months of the GPRF were 2.76 ± 1.14, 2.94 ± 1.08, 3.53 ± 0.64, and 4.58 ± 0.75, respectively. The mean WOMAC score of the patients before GPRF was 65.75 ± 14.15, while the mean WOMAC score of the 1st, 3rd, 6th and 12th months after GPRF was 36.14 ± 13, 36.52 ± 11.06, 37.88 ± 10.86, and 41.67 ± 10.84, respectively.

Conclusion: Ultrasound-guided GPRF therapy in chronic knee pain which does not respond to conservative treatments reduces pain for at least 12 months and is effective improving knee functions.
