The focus of this text is the management of rheumatoid arthritis from the orthopaedic surgeon's point of view. Yet the authors keep in mind the total management of the patient, not just the surgical possibilities. Recommendations are made concerning various methods of treatment, and chapters on pathology and the position of the patient in society are included. The book is a practical aid for surgeons on a surgical regimen, for physicians weighing various treatment alternatives, and for physiotherapists, occupational therapists and other paramedical disciplines as well as patients looking for information on the effects of operative treatment in rheumatoid disease.
