Incidence and management of first metatarsophalangeal joint osteoarthritis in Dutch general practice estimates from the Rijnmond Primary Care Database
The incidence of 1st MTP joint OA has been estimated for the first time in general practice. Most patients are diagnosed after referral to radiology or orthopedic surgeon consultation. From diagnosis, half of 1st MTP joint OA patients are referred, mostly for orthopedic surgeon consultation and podiatry. As evidence for these diagnostic and management strategies is lacking, research into their effectiveness for 1st MTP joint OA in general practice is needed.
