New procedure delivers lasting knee arthritis pain relief without surgery
A new minimally invasive procedure that blocks abnormal blood vessels around the knee has provided long-term pain relief and improved mobility for osteoarthritis patients, with benefits lasting at least a year. The treatment, called genicular artery embolization, uses dissolvable particles to reduce inflammation and pain without surgery. The study involved nearly 200 patients who had not found relief through traditional methods, showing the procedure's potential as a safe and effective alternative to knee replacement.
