Knee replacement surgery beats therapy in major study
A Danish led trial finds knee replacement provides greater pain relief and quality of life after one year than non surgical care but with higher risk of complications. Many patients without surgery still improve, and two thirds avoid surgery. The results suggest a patient specific choice, with costs estimated at 20 000 to 25 000 dollars but potential long term savings.
