The prevalence of KOA in China is reported to be 8.1%, compared to 12.1% in Europe and the United States. Due to the lack of optimal treatment for KOA, which imposes a huge economic burden on patients, their families and the social healthcare system. The treatment of KOA is usually divided into non-pharmacological, pharmacological and surgical interventions, while clinically non-surgical interventions have achieved significant results in the treatment of KOA. To provide decision aids for orthopaedic surgeons and researchers in the non-surgical treatment of KOA, Joint Surgery Group of Chinese Medical Association have widely consulted domestic orthopaedic experts, fully searched domestic and international literature and combined with the current situation of KOA treatment in China to develop this expert consensus, which aims to provide guidelines and recommendations for the non-surgical treatment of KOA.
