  2. 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.

  7. Further research into implantation of a shock or load absorber for mild to moderate symptomatic medial knee osteoarthritis should include comparative studies against existing forms of management. Studies should record patient selection, functional outcomes, quality of life and complications. They should also report the nature and timing of any further surgery on the knee and the effect of removing the device. A minimum follow-up period of 2–3 years is needed. NICE may update the guidance on publication of further evidence.

  13. Evidence on the safety of magnetic resonance therapy for knee osteoarthritis shows no major safety concerns. Evidence on efficacy is inadequate in quality and quantity and shows no benefit over placebo. Therefore, this procedure should not be used unless it is part of a research study. Further research should be in the form of appropriately powered randomised  controlled trials comparing the procedure with placebo. It should report patient  selection and treatment protocols, including the number of sessions and  magnetic field strength.
