Grant Activity:
Reducing inappropriate knee joint replacement surgery and hospital burden
Purpose:
Knee osteoarthritis affects 2.1 million Australians. 53,673 knee replacement surgeries were performed in 2017-18. Education, exercise and weight management should be provided to all people with knee osteoarthritis, and knee replacement surgery only considered if this approach is not successful. Most people in Australia with knee osteoarthritis are not provided appropriate care prior to surgery. This study will test whether access to appropriate care can prevent or delay surgery.
