Analysis of Obesity Treatments and their Relationship with Knee Osteoarthritis: Conservative and Surgical Treatments

The management of obesity and knee osteoarthritis (OA) demands a comprehensive approach integrating conservative and surgical strategies. Orthopedics plays a vital role in evaluating joint damage, guiding non-invasive interventions, and performing surgical procedures such as total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Conservative treatment emphasizes lifestyle modifications, nutritional interventions, pharmacotherapy, and physical rehabilitation, while surgical options, including bariatric surgery, address advanced cases. The interdisciplinary collaboration among orthopedic surgeons, bariatric specialists, nutritionists, and physiotherapists is essential for optimizing outcomes. This holistic approach ensures symptom relief, functional improvement, and enhanced quality of life for patients.
