Arthrosis and back troubles together account for at least a third of all rheumatic suffering, and they are much the commonest rheumatological causes of impairment and disability. In contrast to the inflammatory arthropathies, one cannot help but be struck by the fact that research endeavour has not been commensurate with the burden that has to be endured.
关节病和背部疾病加起来至少占所有风湿性疾病的三分之一,而且它们是导致功能受损和残疾的最常见的风湿病学病因。与炎症性关节病形成对比的是,研究力度与患者不得不承受的负担不相称这一事实令人震惊。
