  Abstract

Knee pain is a common presenting symptom in primary care. Around 4.5 million people in the UK, over 100 patients per GP, have severe or disabling knee pain. About 25% of people over the age of 55 years complain of chronic knee pain which is usually diagnosed as osteoarthritis. At the other end of the age spectrum, knee pain affects as many as one in three teenagers and young adults at some time or other.
