If you’re suffering from knee pain caused by degenerative joint disease or arthritis, you may think knee replacement is your only option—but it’s not. Deuk Plasma Rhizotomy® offers a revolutionary outpatient alternative that targets the source of your pain, with no joint removal, no hospital stay, and minimal recovery time.
Targets the Root Cause: Stops chronic pain by disconnecting pain-transmitting nerves—ideal for arthritis & DJD.
Minimally Invasive: A 4mm incision means no stitches and no joint removal.
Outpatient Procedure: In and out in under 30 minutes.
Fast Recovery: Most patients walk out pain-free and return to normal activity the next day.
No Opioids Required: Virtually no post-op pain means narcotics aren’t necessary.
90%+ Success Rate: Proven effective with long-term relief from a single treatment.
Most chronic knee pain is caused by degenerative joint disease or arthritis, often made worse by prior injuries. These conditions inflame the joint and activate pain pathways along the genicular nerves. Traditional treatments mask symptoms, but the Deuk Plasma Rhizotomy® permanently shuts off the pain at its source.
Developed by world-renowned neurosurgeon Dr. Ara Deukmedjian, this patented procedure uses a precision plasma wand to perform a permanent rhizotomy—disconnecting pain-causing nerves in the knee without damaging the joint itself.
Unlike joint replacement, this approach preserves your natural anatomy and mobility. And even if you’ve had a failed knee replacement, you can still be a candidate for a DPR.
✅ Outpatient, same-day procedure
✅ No artificial implants or joint removal
✅ Preserves natural joint stability and movement
✅ 30-minute procedure with 30-minute recovery
✅ No hospital stay or general anesthesia
✅ Effective even after failed knee replacement
Deuk Plasma Rhizotomy is ideal for people with:
Pain not relieved by medication or injections
Concerns about the risks of total knee replacement
A desire to avoid long recovery or joint hardware
Don’t settle for masking symptoms or undergoing invasive surgery. The Deuk Plasma Rhizotomy offers a better way to treat knee pain at the source—with fast recovery and long-lasting results.
