Introduction: To optimize Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) outcomes, RF needle technology and placement as well as RF parameters need to be optimized for precise and complete coverage of the neural target (1-2). For facetogenic pain, consensus guidelines and clinical data indicate that larger lesions drive better outcomes (3). A new RF cannula was recently developed to produce larger lesions, up to 2x larger than a standard cannula, without the need for additional equipment or procedure time.
