ClinConnect Summary
Hand osteoarthritis (OA) is a highly prevalent rheumatic joint disease, and the number of people living with debilitating hand OA will continue to rise in the coming decades due to increased life expectancy. Research shows that patients with hand OA have poor access to recommended treatment, and in Norway, they are increasingly referred to surgical consultation before having received recommended first-line treatment. Thus, there is a need to develop easily viable models of care for patients with hand OA that make recommended treatment available across different healthcare levels.
