Oxford Textbook of Osteoarthritis and Crystal Arthropathy

Description 

A trustworthy clinical companion, the textbook offers best practice and management strategies for these common joint diseases. 

Formerly published as Osteoarthritis, the extensively revised third edition of the Oxford Textbook of Osteoarthritis and Crystal Arthropathy provides up-to-date andevidence-based guidance on how to assess, diagnose, and manage patients. A prestigious and international author team ensure information is expert and relevant-this is apractical tool for clinicians managing people with osteoarthritis, gout, and other crystal-associated arthritis. 

Confidently consider and chose the right blend of treatment for your patient, whether physical, pharmacological, surgical, or supportive. The Oxford Textbook ofOsteoarthritis and Crystal Arthropathy provides full coverage of joint failure, and includes detailed sections on epidemiology, risk factors, clinical assessment, andinvestigations. This edition also now includes new sections on gout and other crystal arthropathies. 

Clinically relevant and easily understandable overviews of basic science, including pathology and pain physiology, along with critical appraisal of current guidelines, make thisa highly valuable resource. Significant coverage is also given to patient education and the involvement of the patient in management planning. 

Also highly illustrated, the textbook is a strong reference tool with summary boxes and key points at the end of chapters making it easy to find information quickly and helpyou deliver the optimum patient outcome. The textbook equips rheumatologists and musculoskeletal health professionals with the knowledge to provide best possible patientcare.
