Abstract
Osteoarthritis is the most common osteoarticular disease and a leading cause of years lived with disability in the world.1 Osteoarthritis affects all anatomical structures of the joint and leads to progressive joint destruction. In the lower limbs, the knee joint is the most frequent osteoarthritis location. Conservative therapies that target symptoms (eg, pain, stiffness, and activity limitations) are recommended as first- and second-line treatments for knee osteoarthritis.2-5 When conservative therapies fail, total knee replacement (TKR) may be offered.Keywords
