Differences in presentation, progression and rates of arthroplasty between hip and knee osteoarthritis: Observations from an osteoarthritis cohort study‐a clear role for conservative management
Differences in symptoms, progression, and joint replacement rates between hip and knee osteoarthritis: Evidence supporting conservative treatment
AI simplified
Abstract
At 6 years, 58% of patients with hip and knee did not undergo joint replacement surgery.
- Patients with hip osteoarthritis had an 86% increased risk of requiring surgery compared to knee osteoarthritis patients.
- 67% of knee osteoarthritis patients did not need knee replacement surgery by the 6-year mark.
- 40% of hip osteoarthritis patients did not undergo surgery at the same time point.
- A significant number of both hip and knee osteoarthritis patients may benefit from conservative therapy.
