Treatment of patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis is complicated and it consists mainly of applying general measures, medical therapy, physical therapy and rehabilitation, and, if necessary, surgical - orthopedic measures. The treatment is conducted as team work and it lasts for years. The chronic and evolutionary character of the disease requires a rather dynamic effort against the onset of joint deformation as well as the constant follow up of the evolution of the disease, and the local condition of the joints. Within the examined group of a hundred patients with classical and definitive rheumatoid arthritis, formed deformations of hand joints were registered in 72% of patients by means of clinical examination. Preventive measures against joint deformation make an integral part of rheumatoid arthritis patient treatment. Their application starts from the moment when the diagnosis is made and lasts as long as the disease does.
类风湿性关节炎患者的治疗很复杂，主要包括采取一般措施、药物治疗、物理治疗和康复治疗，必要时还包括外科矫形措施。治疗是团队协作进行的，且持续数年。该疾病的慢性和渐进性特征要求针对关节变形的发生采取相当积极的措施，以及持续跟踪疾病的发展情况和关节的局部状况。在接受检查的一百例典型且确诊的类风湿性关节炎患者组中，通过临床检查发现，72%的患者手部关节出现了变形。预防关节变形的措施是类风湿性关节炎患者治疗的一个组成部分。它们从确诊之时开始应用，并且只要疾病存在就持续应用。
