B. BERKHOUT, J. D. MACFARLANE and A. CATS

Department of Rheumatology, University Hospital Rijnsburgerweg 10, 2333 AA Letden, The Netherlands

Correspondence to: Address correspondence to Dr. J. D. Macfarlane

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.

KEY WORDS: Osteoarthrosis, Knee, Prognosis
