Nowadays the alternatives in treating an early knee OA cause great controversies in the scientific community. These chapters pretend to focus on such different strategies and investigate on advantages and disadvantages of them. The hope is that it may open the road to preventive or disease modifying therapies, thus preventing total knee replacement later in life.
