MRI genicular nerve mapping: a novel approach to sagittal genicular nerve localization
Authors' conclusion
This study supports updated guidance on genicular rhizotomy targets.
Study context
- Population
- Consecutive knee MRI; sagittal positions of the three primary genicular neurovascular bundles (superomedial, superolateral, inferomedial)knee MRI
- Participants
- 28 participants
- Outcome
- Sagittal position of the genicular neurovascular bundles relative to total anterior-posterior bony cortex depth; proportion of nerves within standard radiofrequency capture radius at classic rhizotomy targets
Methodological detailsconsecutive knee MRI
- Consecutive knee MRI
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
- Genicular neurovascular bundles further posterior than classic landmark targets
- Proportion of visualised nerve branches captured by classic rhizotomy target radius varied by genicular nerve branch
