Have Pain? So did they.
Patient Experiences after Denervation
Knee Osteoarthritis
This patient is an 82 year old female that had severe knee osteoarthritis but was not a candidate for a knee replacement. She had walked with the use of a walker for more than 5 years, but returned to dancing in six weeks after a knee denervation procedure performed by Dr. Joshua Hustedt.
Long-term Knee Pain Relief for Osteoarthritis
This is a 58 year old male that failed injections and therapy but did not have advanced arthritis enough to desire a knee replacement. He has long lasting relief without advancement in arthritis at three years following a denervation procedure by Dr. Joshua Hustedt.
High Risk Patient with Knee Osteoarthritis
This is a 70 year old female that failed injections and therapy but was deemed to be too high risk for a knee replacement since she had previously had a liver transplant. She was told that her only hope was chronic pain medication. She was pain free six weeks following knee denervation.
Young Patient with Knee Pain
This is a 23 year patient with malalignment sydnrome. She failed more than 10 knee realignment procedures, including a failed femoral derotational osteotomy. She was referred to Dr. Josh Hustedt by the pediatric orthopedics team for chronic knee pain that prevented her from working for more than three years. She returned to work less than three months after bilateral knee denervation procedures that successfully treated her knee pain.
Weight Loss with Knee Denervation
This patient had arthritis of the hip and knee limiting her ability to walk. She was overweight with a BMI above 40 and was told she could not have a knee or hip replacement due to her weight. She underwent a knee denervation procedure, which completely resolved her knee pain. She was then able to exercise and lost enough weight to get a hip replacement. Now she is walking pain free.

Base of thumb (CMC) denervation is a new surgical technique for treatment of arthritis. It offers a much quicker recovery than more traditional arthroplasty procedures. This case highlights the rapid pain reduction and return of function seen following denervation in a 68 year old female.
