Title
Conservative management of degenerative knee: an experience with 508 cases at Ramathibodi Hospital.
An analysis of the physical management of degenerative joint disease (1,016 knees) conducted at Ramathibodi Hospital, Bangkok, during the period 1985-1989 indicates that degenerative knee occurs mostly among those in the middle and older age groups (41-70 years, mostly among those 51-60 years of age). Physical therapy is suitable for treatment because of its ease, low cost and safety. Long-term follow-up showed that only 7.66 per cent required surgery.
