Abstract

A meeting of the Expert Council on September 9, 2023 considered the last challenges in the treatment of osteoarthritis (OA) including OA in comorbid patients. Leading experts in rheumatology, traumatology and other relevant disciplines participated in the meeting. The key goal of Expert Council was the discussion of potential application of a combination of undenatured (native) type II collagen, methylsulfonylmethane, boswellic acids, vitamins C and D (Artneo complex) as a part of complex OA therapy. The experts concluded that Artneo for stage I–III knee OA patients is not just non-inferior in comparison with a combination of chondroitin sulfate and glucosamine hydrochloride but excels it in the decrease of magnetic resonance imaging synovitis markers and dynamics of Lequesne index for knee osteoarthritis severity. The proven efficacy and the favorable safety profile of 6-months Artneo course deserve the attention of medical community and the active implementation of Artneo complex into ambulatory practice, first of all, for the treatment of patients with mild or moderate synovitis and/or burdened with comorbidities.
