The Conservative Treatment of Osteoarthritis of the Knee
Osteoarthritis has one of the highest associations for all-cause mortality in the United States. Comorbidities are common in patients with end-stage disease. In most cases, it is critical to exhaust conservative modalities of care before resorting to surgical intervention. This article discusses common conservative approaches focusing on injectable treatments that can be employed prior to total knee replacement. [Orthopedics. 2018; 41(5):256-260.]
