Dermatology Week 1 Practice Exam

Chondroitin is conditionally recommended for which OA site?

Hand OA only Knee OA only Hip OA only

Correct Answer:

Knee OA only

Explanation:

Chondroitin is considered for symptom relief in osteoarthritis, but the strength of its recommendation depends on the joint being treated. The evidence most consistently supports a cautious, conditional benefit for knee OA, where some trials show modest improvements in pain and function with acceptable safety. In contrast, evidence for hand OA and hip OA is not convincing or is lacking, so a conditional recommendation is not supported for those sites. Thus, the site where chondroitin is conditionally recommended is knee OA.
