Effective management options for our osteoarthritis (OA) patients are changing. This change is driven by advances in therapeutics, but just as importantly, due to a culture shift in the awareness of a need to develop multimodal management plans. In this way we can collectively address many elements contributing to patients’ OA pain and poor mobility.

This learning series with Ross Allan reviews the current evidence and debate around new pharmaceutical and intra-articular therapeutics, provides an update on pain management in OA, includes interactive case discussion scenarios and provides insight into how OA clinics can be set up and delivered successfully in practice.
