Abstract

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of genicular nerves (GN) provides good long-term pain relief in patients with knee joint pain. Unipolar RFA is commonly used technique, however, it is contraindicated in patients with implanted pacemaker due to risk of pacemaker failure and arrhythmia. We present a case report of two cases of genicular nerve RFA where bipolar RFA was used successfully in patients with permanent pacemaker to manage chronic knee pain. Both patients showed effective pain relief. Bipolar RFA was done uneventfully without any complication.
