Abstract
VITERI TAPIA, Francisco Javier et al. Osteoarthrosis A literature review. Rev Cuba Reumatol [online]. 2019, vol.21, n.2 Epub Aug 01, 2019. ISSN 1817-5996.
Introduction:
osteoarthrosis is the most frequent joint disease.
Objective:
to expose the bibliographic references that currently refer to osteoarthrosis in the framework of the literature review carried out.
Development:
as anatomoclinic syndrome is identified by mechanical pain that is usually related to stiffness and that gradually causes a loss or decline of joint function. Several risk factors are related to the progress of this disease, among which stand out, in addition to age and female sex, obesity, repetitive microtrauma in the practice of certain sports and compliance with specific professional activities.
Conclusions:
treatment of osteoarthrosis should be carried out at the level of family medicine, both in the preventive component, as well as in the control and conservative management, instructing the patient in his daily care and actions and operating medication schemes, exercises, functional supports such as knee pads, canes and walkers. The medical education must assume this paradigm, and not immediately request the interconsultation to the specialty when the patient does not respond, without taking into account that the management of the patient with osteoarthritis is distant from the pharmacological prescription.
Keywords : bibliographic references; osteoarthrosis; literature review.
