This minimally invasive procedure offers a revolutionary alternative to traditional knee replacement surgery, significantly enhancing patients’ mobility and overall quality of life.
By targeting the genicular arteries responsible for transmitting pain signals in the knee joint, GAE effectively reduces discomfort and restores functionality without the need for invasive surgery. Experience relief from knee osteoarthritis pain with this innovative approach, allowing you to regain independence and enjoy life to the fullest.

What is Knee Osteoarthritis?
Knee Osteoarthritis (OA) stands as a major contributor to disability and chronic pain, significantly reducing physical activity and overall quality of life. Afflicting nearly 30 million people in the US, with the knee being the most prevalent site, knee OA’s prevalence has been on the rise, attributed to an aging population and the obesity epidemic.

Traditionally viewed as a “wear and tear” disease, it is now recognized as a more intricate condition characterized by low-grade inflammation. This inflammation is triggered by the release of inflammatory markers from cartilage, bone, and the synovium—the lining of the knees. Age, obesity, a family history of knee osteoarthritis, or trauma are key risk factors associated with the development of knee OA.
Addressing these factors is crucial in managing the impact of knee OA on individuals’ health and well-being.
What is Geniculate Artery Embolization?
Genicular artery embolization (GAE) emerges as a minimally invasive and promising treatment specifically designed to address the low-grade inflammation linked to knee arthritis. This innovative approach targets the reduction of blood flow to the inflamed synovium, the lining of the knee.

By focusing on these arteries, GAE aims to decrease the inflammation associated with osteoarthritis, offering relief and potentially eliminating knee pain. Initial trials highlight the potential of this technique as a valuable alternative for individuals experiencing debilitating knee pain who may not be ready or willing to undergo knee replacement surgery.
GAE represents a significant advancement in providing relief to patients with knee arthritis while avoiding more invasive procedures.
Here at Scottsdale’s Camelback Medical Centers, we offer a free consultation for this procedure to the patients seeking a minimally invasive relief from knee OA.
