Hand osteoarthritis with Margreet Kloppenburg

Hand osteoarthritis is a common musculoskeletal disease and associated with hand pain, stiffness, functional limitation and quality of life. For a long time, hand osteoarthritis was a "forgotten disease", resulting in a paucity of good quality clinical trials to help guide the management. However, in more recent years, hand osteoarthritis has gained more attraction and new data to support treatments has become available.


On this episode we discuss:

  • what is hand osteoarthritis and which joints are most commonly affected
  • why does hand osteoarthritis occur
  • recommended treatments for hand osteoarthritis


Professor Margreet Kloppenburg is heading the Osteoarthritis Research Group of the Rheumatology Department of the Leiden University Medical Center, Leiden, the Netherlands. She started research in the field of Osteoarthritis in the department of Rheumatology and made it one of its key research areas. The work of her group focusses on the causal role of systemic factors in osteoarthritis and on methodology to evaluate the course of osteoarthritis by MRI and radiographs, with special attention for hand osteoarthritis. Professor Kloppenburg has published over 200 peer-reviewed papers in the national and international literature.
