Peripheral Nerve Stimulation of the Saphenous and Superior Lateral Genicular Nerves for Chronic Pain After Knee Surgery

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is one of the most commonly conducted surgeries in the United States. Typically, TKA is conducted to relieve pain from patients with long-standing osteoarthritis. Postoperative knee pain is a common issue after TKA. For some patients, postoperative knee pain exceeds the normal 3-6-month phase and becomes chronic. Pain is typically managed with the use of medications and physical therapy. In this case, we describe the use of peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) of the saphenous and superior lateral genicular nerves for a patient experiencing chronic postoperative knee pain utilizing SPRINT PNS technology.
