Evidence-Based Review of Nonsurgical Treatments for Knee and Hip Osteoarthritis.

Knee and hip osteoarthritis (OA) are highly prevalent joint diseases that lead to chronic pain, disability, and increased mortality. In this review, we provide a summary of nonsurgical treatments available for knee and hip OA that have evidence to support their use. We also provide a summary of the treatments available for knee and hip OA that do not have sufficient evidence to support their use. Treatments covered in this review include pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic modalities. Cite this article as: Misra D, Felson DT.
