Zusammenfassung

Die Arthrose ist eine chronisch progrediente Erkrankung. Während in der Vergangenheit die konservative Behandlung oft nur als Interimstherapie bis zum endoprothetischen Gelenkersatz gesehen wurde, treten heute langfristige individuelle und multimodale Therapieansätze in den Vordergrund. Hierbei umfasst die Basistherapie Gewichtskontrolle, Patientenschulung und Mobilisation. Ergänzend kommen physikalische Therapie und orthopädische Hilfsmittel zum Einsatz. Die pharmakologische Therapie zielt auf Schmerzreduktion und Funktionsverbesserung mit systemischen und lokalen Behandlungsoptionen. Vorrangig kommen nichtsteroidale Antiphlogistika zur kurzzeitigen Anwendung. Intraartikuläre Injektionen ergänzen den symptomatischen Therapieansatz. Da bis dato keine Medikamente zugelassen sind, die eine Degeneration des Gelenkknorpels verhindern bzw. diesen regenerieren können, wecken neue Therapieverfahren wie plättchenreiches Plasma, autologe Stammzellen oder monoklonale Antikörper große Erwartungen. Vor dem Hintergrund ihrer teilweise nicht ausreichend belegten Wirksamkeit sind diese Verfahren jedoch weiterhin zurückhaltend zu bewerten.
