Conservative Treatments, Surgical Treatments, and the KineSpring® Knee Implant System for Knee Osteoarthritis: A Systematic Review
RESUMO
Purpose: Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a disease with a high global burden, and multiple treatment
options are available. In the current review we summarize the results of studies that have evaluated
treatments of knee OA, and we compare these results with an implantable load absorber called the
KineSpring® Knee Implant System.
Methods: We conducted a literature search of systematic reviews on treatment strategies for knee
OA. We pooled results for each treatment in three categories: pain, function, and stiffness. Then we
compared this data to that available for the KineSpring System.
Results: Medications and viscosupplementation show promising initial pain relief for knee OA.
Aerobic and resistance training, unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA), and total knee arthroplasty
(TKA) showed a reduction in pain scores. High tibial osteotomy (HTO) generally improves
pain and function at 6 weeks, but long-term results are lacking. The KineSpring System demonstrated
significant improvements from baseline to 24 months, but direct comparative data are lacking.
Conclusions: Evidence for knee OA therapies suggests improved pain, stiffness, and functional outcomes.
Additional research is necessary to clearly delineate the advantages of various approaches
to guide practice.
