Osteoarthritis: Your Questions Answered

Osteoarthritis: Your Questions Answered

by Gillian Hosie (Author), D. John Dickson FRCP(Glas) FRCP(Lond) MRCGP (Author)

Synopsis

Arthritis is very common in the general population, and osteoarthritis is the commonest form, particularly in older people. There is a real need for up-to-date, appropriate information to enable the primary care practitioner to address patients' queries and concerns and assist them in self-management of this painful and debilitating complaint. This book, written in the popular Q and A format of the Your Questions Answered series, provides this information, so that GPs can better understand and treat patients with osteoarthritis. Answers are presented in a succinct, accessible style, with emphasis on evidence-based knowledge. Both authors are members of the Primary Care Rheumatology Society, as well as practising GPs.
