Description

Worldwide, osteoarthritis is one of the most rapidly rising conditions associated with disability. For most people, it is a syndrome of joint pain and stiffness, with associated functional problems that have a substantial effect on quality of life. As well as expert advice on well-established diagnostic criteria and the latest practical treatment information, this comprehensive handbook provides: • updates on the genetics of the disease • novel concepts of the association between structural changes and pain • recent recommendations for the use of modern imaging modalities • the latest on intra-articular therapies • an insight into current developments in the field. For all healthcare professionals who have ever felt unable to provide effective therapy for this disease, or who have encountered negative patient and community attitudes to joint pain, 'Fast Facts: Osteoarthritis' is essential reading. Something can be done to help every person with osteoarthritis!
