    Abstract

    Osteoarthritis (OA) is a leading cause of disability and doubles the number of visits to primary care practitioners for those with this condition in comparison to those without. OA affects knee joint more often than any other joint. With the ageing of the population and the growing obesity epidemic, the number of surgical procedures for knee OA will increase dramatically in the coming years, of which knee replacement is the most costly to the health care system and burdensome for the patient. Other treatment options for OA of the knee would be of great value.
