Abstract

The scientific review presents the treatment of coxarthrosis of various stages by the radiofrequency denervations technique. Full-text articles were searched in open electronic databases PubMed, eLibrary, CyberLeninka for the maximum possible time interval for the time interval from 1990 to 2023. Fifteen scientific articles were selected, in which 302 patients were treated with 489 radiofrequency denervations of the hip joint. The authors provide information about the state of the problem with special attention to the characteristics of various denervation protocols and justification of the choice of target points for exposure from the standpoint of anatomy and innervation of the hip joint. RCD is a modern, interventional, and effective solution to the main symptom, which is pain, according to numerous studies. The introduction of targeted effects on the articular branches of the locking and femoral nerves by radiofrequency denervation into the work of a practitioner can increase the period of remission of exacerbation of coxarthrosis and shorten the period of disability with a high level of intervention safety for the patient. Conducting further research on the role of radiofrequency denervation in coxarthrosis is critical.
