  9. Further research into joint distraction for knee osteoarthritis without alignment  correction should include comparative studies against existing forms of management. Studies should record patient selection, joint space measurements in the medium to long term, functional outcomes, quality of life and complications. They should also report the nature and timing of any further surgery on the knee. NICE may update the guidance on publication of further evidence.
