About this eTextbook
. Women often experience arthritis differently from men for many reasons, ranging from biological and joint anatomy differences to pain perception and psychosocial factors. Evaluation and Management of Hip and Knee Arthritis in Women is the first reference to directly address the unique needs of women in this challenging area, helping you improve diagnosis and treatment outcomes for your female patients.
Offering comprehensive, up-to-date coverage of medical, surgical, and sociological considerations, this title is an essential resource for orthopaedic surgeons and primary care physicians in training and practice, rheumatologists, adult reconstruction fellows, advanced practice practitioners, and other clinicians who provide care to women with hip and knee osteoarthritis. Covers all aspects of hip and knee osteoarthritis that are specifically relevant to women’s health: biological differences and hormonal changes, pain perception, joint anatomy, comorbid conditions that are more prevalent in women, psychosocial factors and expectations, response to treatment, and research gaps. Features concise, detailed text accompanied by abundant, high-quality clinical and radiologic images to provide a practical tool for use in the office, in the clinic, and at point of care.
Discusses intraoperative considerations, including implant design, implant sizing, use of technology, bearing surfaces, and fixation. Covers etiology of and gender differences in bone health, and development of hip and knee arthritis. Addresses postoperative pain and unique social considerations for women with fibromyalgia, mental health disorders, and/or chronic opioid use.
Includes value-based care considerations such as impact on health disparities, the doctor-patient relationship, cost to patients, and access to care.
