Mashup Score: 2Reflections on 30 years of publishing osteoarthritis research: Where we’ve been and where we’re going - 14 day(s) ago
In March 2023, we called on the community to reflect on the thirty years that have passed since the first issue of Osteoarthritis and Cartilage (OAC). In the first issue of OAC, Charles Menkes, the first president of what is now known as the Osteoarthritis Research Society International (OARSI) asked, “Is osteoarthritis one or several diseases?

Mashup Score: 0When should we treat knee osteoarthritis and with which treatments? - 2 month(s) ago
As few as one-in-five people with knee osteoarthritis use all recommended non-surgical treatments.1 One potential approach to increase the use of these treatments is to deliver a treatment package when people are awaiting total knee replacement surgery; a time when patients often experience worsening health and might be more likely to adhere to care. In The Lancet Rheumatology, A Hamish R W Simpson and colleagues evaluated the feasibility of an intervention package for people with knee osteoarthritis awaiting a primary total knee replacement.
