Abstract

The article is concerned with the treatment of coxalgia against the background of degenerative-dystrophic diseases of the hip joint. The author carried out an analysis of foreign studies concerning with the application of radiofrequency neural ablation for the hip joint nerves. Based on the results of our own research, the author has proved that radiofrequency neuroablation of articular nervule of obturator and femoral nerves is an effective treatment of coxalgia pain syndrome against the background of degenerative osteoarthrosis
