In a retrospective study at a single rheumatology centre of 72 patients with symptomatic arthrosis of the knee, more than 50% of the clinical phenomena improved within six months while patients were treated conservatively. This improvement appeared to be irrespective of age and duration of knee complaints except for a group of obese patients with symptoms for more than one year.
在一家单一的风湿病中心对72例有症状的膝关节骨关节炎患者进行的一项回顾性研究中，超过50%的临床症状在患者接受保守治疗的6个月内有所改善。这种改善似乎与年龄和膝关节不适的持续时间无关，但有一组症状持续超过一年的肥胖患者除外。
