Knee Osteoarthritis

Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to assess whether radiographic osteoarthritis severity (OA; Kellgren-Lawrence scale) is associated with self-reported improvement in pain after non-surgical treatments (physiotherapy, pain killers, injection, other treatments). The hypothesis is that radiographic OA severity is inversely associated with self-reported improvement.
