The diagnosis and therapy of degenerative knee-joint disease: Expert consensus from

the Chinese pain medicine panel

At present, there are many constantly updated guidelines and consensuses on the diagnosis and treatment of osteoarthritis both at

home and abroad. The recommendations established using methods of evidence-based medicine has experienced strict research

on controlling bias and promoting reproduction rate. As a result, the previous evidence was re-evaluated and a lot of changes

were provoked in the diagnosis and treatment concept of osteoarthritis. However, several methods not recommended by foreign

guidelines are still in use in the current clinical practice in China. On the one hand, Chinese experts have not reached extensive

consensus on whether it is necessary to make changes according to foreign guidelines. On the other hand, almost all the current

relevant guidelines are on osteoarthritis, but the lesions around knee joints which, as a whole, bear the largest weight in human

body, cannot be ignored. For this purpose, Chinese Association for the Study of Pain (CASP) organized some leading experts to

formulate this Chinese Pain Specialist Consensus on the Diagnosis and Treatment of Degenerative Knee Osteoarthritis (DKOA)

in combination with the guidelines in foreign countries and the expert experience of clinical practice in China. The consensus

that includes the definition, pathophysiology, epidemiology, clinical manifestation, diagnostic criteria and treatments is intended

to be used by first-line doctors, including pain physicians, managing patients with DKOA.
