Personalized Treatment Algorithm for Knee Osteoarthritis: A Meta-Analysis

I am a doctor specializing in orthopedics, with a research focus on knee osteoarthritis. I am currently working on a meta-analysis paper investigating the feasibility of developing a personalized treatment algorithm model to optimize the long-term outcomes of knee osteoarthritis patients receiving either non-surgical or surgical treatments. I am seeking guidance from a professor in the field. Could you please recommend five highly cited references that would be relevant to my research?

Here are five highly cited references you could consider for your meta-analysis paper on the development of a personalized treatment algorithm model for optimizing the long-term outcomes of knee osteoarthritis patients receiving non-surgical or surgical treatments:
