Abstract
With increasing life expectancy and advances in medicine, degenerative disease of the knee now occurs in patients with higher activity levels and functional expectations. Providing appropriate treatment for these patients depends on an accurate assessment to gather not only clinical information but also functional , psychosocial, and cultural factors that are essential for therapeutic decision. This patient’s evaluation requires a rigorous clinical examination, complementary examinations, and the use of assessment scores .
