Brief summary (from the registry)

Recent works in interventional radiology have shown interesting results in the treatment of musculoskeletal inflammatory sites by arterial embolization. Supra-selective arterial embolization has been successfully developed by Dr. Okuno (Japan) to manage moderate to severe knee osteoarthritis. Also, inflammation of the surgical site mediated via geniculate arteries is a major cause for persistent chronic post-operative gonalgia.
