You may qualify if…
- Subjects presenting with radiographic evidence of hip OA and demonstrating hip pain for at least 30 days will be targeted. Radiographic evidence of hip OA is defined as Kellegran-Lawrence grade 2-4
- Not an operative candidate as per RI joint replacement surgeon OR

- Local infection at injection site or active systemic infection
- Anticoagulation status with inability to discontinue medication for appropriate duration for nerve blocks and RFA given proximity to major artery. (No anticoagulation contraindications for joint injection)
- AICD with inability to utilize magnet for RFA per treating cardiologist
- Body habitus does not allow for placement of longest needles and electrodes (approximately 15cm) to successfully administer treatment
- Allergy or severe renal impairment precluding iodionated contrast or magnavist injection despite standard premedication protocol
