E-Book of the Week - Evaluation and management of hip and knee arthritis in women

Published Date: 31st August 2026

This title covers an important and often overlooked area of arthritis care: how hip and knee osteoarthritis can affect women differently from men. Exploring everything from biological and hormonal influences to pain perception, mental wellbeing, and treatment outcomes, it provides a comprehensive look at the factors that can shape women's experiences of arthritis.

Designed for orthopaedic surgeons, rheumatologists, primary care clinicians, and other healthcare professionals, the e-book examines key topics including joint anatomy, bone health, social factors, treatment approaches, and health inequalities. It also discusses surgical considerations, postoperative care, and emerging areas of research, helping clinicians deliver more personalised care for women with hip and knee osteoarthritis.

The e-book includes high-quality clinical and radiological images, practical guidance for use in everyday practice, and access to 17 accompanying procedural videos.
