Dr. Lin Yunfei
In general, knee osteoarthritis cannot be cured. The condition is typically irreversible, but with standardized treatment, symptoms can be effectively relieved and disease progression delayed. Most cases of knee osteoarthritis can be managed conservatively, and attention should be paid to daily habits and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Compared with other joints, the knee bears relatively greater load, making it more susceptible to overuse or injury, thereby increasing the incidence of knee osteoarthritis.
