Long-Term Follow-up of Radiofrequency to Articular Branches of the Femoral and Obturator Nerve in Chronic Hip Pain

Sponsor: Aydin Adnan Menderes University

Summary

It has been observed that the deterioration in the physical performance of the hip, the medical need before the specialist consultation and the deterioration in the health status can progress treatment\[3\]. When conservative treatment methods such as physical therapy and weight change, the use of walking aids (such as a cane) and analgesic agents are used, these interruptions usually provide short-term and partial benefits. After the application of medical treatment procedures, hip prostheses are usually separated. However, the additional diseases of the patients, the fact that the surgery is a major surgery and the mortality rate is high, and the life of the prostheses used are limited have led to the search for alternative pain palliation. Hip joint radiofrequency thermocoagulation is a procedure performed in our clinic. In this study, we aimed to examine the long-term effects of hip RFT on pain and functional capacity changes in patients.
