Abstract
In this chapter, we will cover osteoarthritis. First we will provide an overview, with definitions, pathogenesis and risk factors, and clinical features, followed by recommendations for holistic management of the disease. A detailed discussion on the prevalence and impact of foot disease is then given, by area of the foot. Specific non-pharmacological and pharmacological management are described, and surgical options are outlined. Finally, clinical trials and the future direction of research are covered.
