Denervation for Management of Hand, Wrist and Knee Pathology Thursday, September 19 Thu, Sep 19
Denervation, or the surgical removal or disruption of nerves, is used to manage certain hand, wrist, and knee pathologies, particularly in cases where other treatments have not provided adequate relief. The goal is to alleviate pain or improve function by targeting specific nerves associated with chronic pain or dysfunction. Panelists in this program will discuss denervation in a variety of contexts:
- Chronic pain management
- Elimination of tendon pain and joint pathologies
- Management of nerve entrapment syndromes
Upon completion of this learning activity, participants should be able to:
- Describe denervation techniques and procedures.
- Evaluate the effectiveness of the denervation procedures.
- Understand risks and complications and ways to mitigate against these to improve patient outcomes.
