Development of criteria for the classification and reporting of osteoarthritis: Classification of osteoarthritis of the knee

抄録

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>For the purposes of classification, it should be specified whether osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee is of unknown origin (idiopathic, primary) or is related to a known medical condition or event (secondary). Clinical criteria for the classification of idiopathic OA of the knee were developed through a multicenter study group.

In contrast to prior criteria, these proposed criteria utilize classification trees, or algorithms.</jats:p>
