Abstract
This chapter provides a compilation of the latest knowledge regarding nonoperative treatment of knee osteoarthritis. The aim is to provide an accessible reference for clinicians to establish a coordinated and effective management plan with maximum patient involvement. It is hoped that this reference can provide clear guidance in the selection of known treatment options and provide useful guidelines for both initial counselling and subsequent active management of the disease.
