Just posted on the AAOS website, www.aaos.org, are the new 22 evidence based recommendations for the treatment of OA of the knee.
Here are just two of the treatments that might effect your 2009 year. Can't wait till Medicare decides to not to pay for OA braces due to these non-recommendations.
Recommendation 9
We are unable to recommend for or against the use of a brace with a valgus directing force for patients with medial uni-compartmental OA of the knee.
Level of Evidence: II
Grade of Recommendation: Inconclusive
Recommendation 10
We are unable to recommend for or against the use of a brace with a varus directing force for patients with lateral uni-compartmental OA of the knee.
Level of Evidence: V
Grade of Recommendation: Inconclusive
