Is Non Surgical CaRE Using Treat to Target Multimodal meDIcal Strategies aBLE to Delay or Avoid Total Knee Replacement?

Knee is the most common site of osteoarthritis. Treatment of knee osteoarthritis starts with a full course of medical therapy, followed by surgery to replace the knee with a prosthesis if this strategy fails, or in advanced cases. However, the new recommendations of the French rheumatology society, which evaluate the various treatments and position them in the treatment plan, are not well known, and the definition of a complete treatment remains unclear. The vast majority of patients are therefore referred to a surgeon after having tried a small part of the therapeutic arsenal (generally analgesics and corticosteroid or hyaluronic acid infiltrations). The goal of this study is to to select patients most likely to gain from surgery and to develop strategies that avoid the need for major surgery.
