What to expect at the time of your surgery:
Before the surgery, anaesthesia is administered to ensure the patient’s comfort. It can be either local or regional anaesthesia. A small incision measuring 1-2 inches is made depending on the extent of the diseased quadriceps or patella tendon. The surgeon utilises a specialised needle to be inserted in the tendon tissue in an equidistant grid-like pattern. Once activated, it emits radiofrequency waves that effectively break down inflamed scar tissue without causing harm to surrounding areas. This deliberate “micro-trauma” stimulates the body’s repair response to promote healing at the site of treatment. After completing the procedure, the incision is closed with sutures or adhesive strips. Sterile dressings or bandages are applied to the incision site. The patient is typically monitored for a short period before being discharged, and post-operative instructions for pain management, rehabilitation exercises, and recovery are provided.
What to expect after your surgery:
You will be provided with clear post-operative instructions, including pain management. A knee brace application is expected for the initial few weeks to provide support and protect the tendons. At two weeks, the sutures will be trimmed, and a wound check will be performed. Physiotherapy will be required gradually to achieve the full range of movement and strength of the muscles. Driving and office work may be possible in 6–8 weeks, depending on the overall recovery.

Radiofrequency Coblation Treatment For Knee Pain Due To Quadriceps/Patella Tendonitis FAQ
It is a relatively small procedure that can be done under local anaesthesia and is usually promising. The overall recovery is quick, and improvement in symptoms may be noted within days; however, the overall full recovery can take up to three months, depending on the extent and severity of the tendon disease.
It is a relatively simple and quick procedure, not generally requiring a lot of pain relief. You will be provided with appropriate painkillers to be taken for a few days. The procedure will be pain-free due to the added ministered local anaesthesia.
