This is the new edition of this definitive text dedicated to the treatment of rheumatic disorders. This companion text to "Kelley's Textbook of Rheumatology" has been substantially revised to include new information on diagnosis and approach to the patient, as well as all the latest clinical information on treatment. Initial chapters address how to approach a patient with acute and chronic arthritis from a diagnostic standpoint, whilst later chapters go on to provide specialised information on topics such as shoulder pain, neck pain, back pain, and approach to arthritis in the elderly. New chapters on treatment of complications and key issues in specific diseases such as ocular and skin manifestations make this the definitive text on treatment of this commonly encountered condition.
