Ask the Experts: Peripheral Joint Pain - Podcast 10

In episode 10, our experts covered your questions on:

• What does the latest research tell us about knee, shoulder, and hip joint denervation?
• What protocol is recommended for identifying and treating pain with knee and other joint denervations
• Should we consider denervation before or after joint replacement, peripheral stimulation, or orthobiologic therapy in our protocol?
• Which modality provides the most effective image guidance – fluoroscopy or ultrasound – and can or should they be combined?
• Do enhanced lesioning treatments utilizing cooled radiofrequency, bipolar, and or multi-tined radiofrequency probes improve outcomes?
• Is phenol neurolysis comparable to radiofrequency denervation, and if so, what phenol volume and concentration should be used?
• Are hip and shoulder denervation comparable to knee denervation on a risk vs benefit basis?

Your expert panel for this October 10, 2024 webinar included:

• Christine Hunt, DO, MS, of the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida, who also serves IPSIS as Vice-Chair of the Evidence Analysis Committee; and
