Abstract
knee OA is major disabling disease in the world. Non surgical therapeutic options are analgesics, physiotherapy which are not effective by itself. So the newer modality of treatment is RFA of genicular nerves and PRP along with physiotherapy and short term analgesics is more effective non surgical treatment. These treatment options is used to treat knee OA in a known case of turner’s syndrome. A middle aged female with diagnosed case of turner’s syndrome, came with severe pain in both knee who was diagnosed with Knee OA and treated with genicular RFA and PRP. Pain reduced in both knee, WOMAC reduced from 85%‐8% in right knee and from 70%‐5% in left knee. NRS also reduced from 9/10‐2/10 in the right knee and 8/10‐1/10 in left knee. We conclude that RFA and PRP is effective in treatment of knee OA in a patient turner’s syndrome. Along with RFA and PRP we need to advice patients to do physiotherapy, weight reduction and short duration of medications to have long lasting effect.
