A 59-year-old woman diagnosed with moderate osteoarthritis (OA) of the right knee asks the nurse practitioner about her treatment options. Which of the following is NOT considered an option for a patient with moderate OA of the knee?

Choice A reason: Physical therapy is a first-line, noninvasive option for managing OA symptoms. Choice B reason: Corticosteroid injections can reduce pain and inflammation for moderate OA, making this an appropriate treatment option. Choice C reason: Partial or total knee replacement may be considered for patients with progressive symptoms not responding to conservative measures. Choice D reason: Hyaluronic acid injections are not routinely recommended for moderate OA due to limited evidence of efficacy, making this option incorrect in standard care recommendations.
