Conclusiones del documento SER sobre el tratamiento farmacológico de la artrosis de rodilla

The Primer documento de la Sociedad Española de Reumatología sobre el tratamiento farmacológico de la artrosis de rodilla (First Document of the Spanish Society of Rheumatology on the Pharmacological Treatment of Osteoarthritis of the Knee) was published in 2005 on the initiative of the SER with the intention of responding in a practical and substantiated manner to clinical questions that might arise in clinical practice and which were not made sufficiently clear in other guides available at the time.

That document was agreed on by a panel of experts following a suitable methodology and a thorough review of the evidence available so far. This article discusses and comments on whether said document has served its purpose and whether it continues doing so at the present time, as well as whether a review should be considered due, or if instead it might be more appropriate to create a new and more extensive document, for instance including non-pharmacological therapies or osteoarthritis affecting other locations.
