CRD SUMMARY:

This review examined the effectiveness of patient education and exercise regimens on the well-being of patients with knee osteoarthritis; it concluded that both regimens had a modest, yet clinically important influence on patients' well-being. The review had serious flaws in its conduct and analysis, meaning that the authors' conclusions are not likely to be reliable.
