Knee osteoarthritis is a disease that causes chronic damage to the joint to cause swelling, pain, and dysfunction of the knee joint. Knee osteoarthritis belongs to the category of "arthralgia" and "bone arthralgia" in traditional Chinese medicine. Chinese traditional Chinese medicine has had profound and unique insights on the understanding of knee osteoarthritis and the treatment of diseases since ancient times. The differences in geographical environment make different schools of Chinese medicine in China emerge, and the founders and inheritors of various schools of Chinese medicine also put forward different therapeutic ideas and measures for knee osteoarthritis. The author summarizes the research progress of the treatment characteristics of knee osteoarthritis in the north and southern TCM schools, in order to provide basis for the choice of TCM clinical treatment of knee osteoarthritis.
