title: [Osteoarthritis and fitness to work, a delicate balance to maintain].
abstract: Osteoarthritis, in most cases, is not caused by one's occupation. However, its presence and its consequences can limit the fitness to work of the people concerned. Nurses practising in occupational health support employees and help to develop occupational health policies to prevent the consequences of the risk of unfitness following the deterioration in an employee's health.
