Management of patients in the elderly with osteoarthritis (Methodological recommendations of the Russian Association of Gerontologists and Geriatricians)
The clinical guidelines reflect the features of osteoarthritis management in elderly patients. The high prevalence of comorbidity in this category of patients, the relationship between osteoarthritis and geriatric syndromes, such as frailty and sarcopenia, are discussed. The high prevalence of neuropathic pain in elderly patients with osteoarthritis is emphasized. All these features suggest optimization of non- and drug therapy.
