Osteoarthritis is the most common cause of musculoskeletal
disability, affecting five million people in Britain. By far the
majority of cases are managed in the community.

natural history. Diagnosis of osteoarthritis is also explained
including descriptions of joint examination, monitoring of
progression and assessment of disability. The book advocates a

patient education and symptom management. It provides advice on
both pharmacological and non-pharmacological pain management, the
use of exercise, physiotherapy and weight loss where necessary.
