Discussion

Retrospective evaluation shows treatment outcomes differ by severity in knee osteoarthritis, suggesting tailored management approaches.

Patients with KL grades 0-2 showed significantly better responses to conservative treatments, indicating effectiveness of early intervention.
Advanced OA (KL grades 3-4) achieved 78% functional improvement with surgical interventions, underscoring the need for a tailored approach.
Treatment failure rates increased significantly with severity grade, highlighting the importance of identifying optimal management strategies.
Findings support severity-based treatment algorithms, which can improve patient outcomes and overall management of knee osteoarthritis.

Badala et al. (2025) studied this question.
