Struggling with moderate to severe knee osteoarthritis? Surgery isn’t always the answer. Use our assessment to see if Genicular Artery Embolization (GAE) could help your knee.
Before taking the quiz, it is helpful to understand why this procedure has become a preferred option for patients in Ocala seeking a middle path to relief.
GAE offers a unique set of clinical advantages:
Yes. In fact, most GAE candidates are individuals who have tried “gel” (hyaluronic acid) or steroid injections and found that the relief was either too brief or non-existent. GAE works differently by addressing the blood vessels that fuel the inflammation.
Unlike a knee replacement, GAE does not involve large incisions, bone cutting, or prosthetic implants. It is a vascular procedure where a thin catheter is used to reach the knee through the arteries, meaning there is no major trauma to the joint itself.
Yes. The Surgical Specialists of Ocala provides this advanced treatment right here in Ocala, offering local patients access to leading-edge vascular care without the need to travel to larger metropolitan hospital systems. Request an appointment to see a knee OA specialist.
