Introduction: Chronic knee pain from osteoarthritis (OA) and postoperative recovery remains a major cause of disability and opioid use. Cryoneurolysis uses extreme cold to induce reversible axonal injury in targeted sensory nerves, providing roughly three months of analgesia with minimal adverse effects. This literature review evaluates the evidence on percutaneous cryoneurolysis for chronic knee pain in OA and total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
