Knee arthroplasty can preserve cognitive function in patients with severe knee osteoarthritis
Knee arthroplasty can reduce the decline in cognitive function in patients with severe knee OA of K-L grade 4 who do not respond to conservative treatment. Even if pain is controlled with conservative treatment, the decline in cognitive function in patients with OA is faster than the age-related decline observed in the general population.
