There has been a revolution in treatments for inflammatory
arthritis. Mostly, this is due to the introduction of biologics,
particularly TNF inhibitors. These have changed approach to
treatment in two ways. First, they appear substantially more
effective than conventional drugs. Second, they are far more
expensive than traditional treatment approaches. One consequence
of this therapeutic revolution is a need to better understand
arthritis and to place the new biological treatments into the
context of existing management approaches.
