title: Osteoarthritis in 2014: Changing how we define and treat patients with OA.
abstract: Important advances in 2014 foster new perspectives on definitions of early and end-stage disease, and promote a shift in the clinical management of osteoarthritis (OA) through implementing treatment algorithms intended to minimize strain on current health-care models. Collectively, these changes shed new light on developing and optimizing approaches to OA treatment.
