Knee osteoarthritis is a prevalent musculoskeletal disorder and a leading cause of chronic pain, reduced mobility, and functional impairment worldwide. Conventional treatment approaches, including pharmacological therapy and surgical interventions such as total knee replacement, may not be suitable for all patients due to associated risks, recovery time, and individual health conditions. This presentation provides an overview of Genicular Artery Embolization (GAE), an emerging minimally invasive technique within the field of interventional radiology for the management of chronic knee pain associated with osteoarthritis. GAE is an image-guided endovascular procedure that targets abnormal synovial neovascularization, which plays a significant role in inflammation and pain generation. The content outlines the underlying pathophysiology of knee osteoarthritis, the mechanism of action of GAE, procedural methodology, clinical benefits, and patient selection criteria. Key advantages of this approach include reduced procedural risk, absence of major surgery, minimal hospitalization, and faster recovery times, often enabling same-day discharge. This resource is intended for clinicians, researchers, and healthcare professionals interested in innovative, non-surgical approaches to pain management and the evolving role of interventional radiology in musculoskeletal disorders. 📞 Clinical Contact For further clinical information or consultation: 📞 +91-9560658828📍 Delhi NCR🌐 www.drakashintervention.com
