Abstract

MIGUENS VAZQUEZ, X. News in the clinical practice guidelines regarding the treatment of the hip, knee and hand osteoarthritis. Rev. Soc. Esp. Dolor [online]. 2021, vol.28, suppl.1, pp.38-42.  Epub Mar 08, 2021. ISSN 1134-8046.  https://dx.doi.org/10.20986/resed.2021.3870/2020.

Information included in the clinical practice guidelines (CPG) represents a source of important content that clinician can transfer to their clinical practice. Combination of the scientific evidence available with the criteria of the expert´s committee who participate in development and preparation offers a document with the best recommendations and reflecting those interventions to get out from our usual procedure. This article reflects the novelties related to the treatment of osteoarthritis that have been included in the main CPGs published in the last three years (2018-2020). Paradoxically, emphasis is placed on the individualization of the approach whose cornerstone continues to be therapeutic exercise (aerobic and potentiation) as well as self-care training. Likewise, numerous topics related to the non-surgical approach are presented.

Keywords : Osteoarthritis; arthrosis; clinical practical guidelines; news.
