Destruction by neurolytic agent, genicular nerve branches including imaging guidance, when performed

AI EXPLANATION: Genicular nerve radiofrequency ablation is an outpatient procedure that treats chronic knee pain by targeting the sensory nerves around the knee joint. Under imaging guidance such as ultrasound or fluoroscopy, a physician places specialized needles near the genicular nerves and applies heat or a chemical agent to interrupt the nerve fibers, reducing their ability to send pain signals to the brain.
