EPIDEMIOLOGY • Most common type of arthritis • A leading cause of disability in elderly • Prevalence: - Aging - Obesity
EPIDEMIOLOGY • Common in: • Knee, hand, spine… • Spared: • Wrist, elbow, shoulder, ankle • Symptomatic knee OA: • >30y 6% • >60y 12%
EPIDEMIOLOGY • Symptomatic hand OA: • 10% of elderly • Hand OA >50% of person >70y • Correlate strikingly with age: - <40y Uncommon • Sex: • More common in women • Sex differences with age
PROTECTORS • Capsule and ligaments: • Limits excursion • Muscles and tendons: • Key protector • Function: - Appropriate power - Focal stress by: - Decelerate joint - Distribute across joint surface
PROTECTORS • Mechanoreceptor: • In ligament, skin and tendon • Assume appropriate tension • Synovial fluid: • Friction • Lubricin: secreted by fibroblasts • Subchondral bone • Shock-absorber
PROTECTORS • Cartilage: • A thin rim of tissue • Function: - Frictionless surface - Absorbing capacity • Component: - Chondrocyte - Matrix
PROTECTORS • Chondrocyte: • Synthesize all element of matrix • Secret: - Growth factors - Cytokines (MMP…) • Matrix: • Type 2 collagen Tensile strength • Proteoglycans (aggrecan) Compressive strength
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY • Joint failure • Initial step: failure of protective mechanisms • Pathologic change in all structures of joint • Hallmark: hyaline cartilage loss
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY • Chondrocytes: • Metabolic activity, catabolic activity PG • Apoptosis • Chondrocytes and synovium: • IL1and TNFa PROTEINASE PROTEINASE ACTIVITY NO AGGRECAN SYNTHESIS Chondrocyte PG E2 MATRIX SYNTHESIS
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY OA cartilage Aggrecan and Collagen Compressive and Tensile strength
RISK FACTORS • AGE: • Most potent • Mechanisms: • Matrix synthesis Thin cartilage • Muscles: - Weaker - Less quickly response • Slow sensory impute • Ligament
RISK FACTORS • FEMALE • GENETIC (OA in member): • Hand & Hip 50% • Knee 30% • Generalized Rare
RISK FACTORS • JOINT: • Developmental • Fracture • AVN (Avascular necrosis) • Tear of ligament • Menisc • Malalignment • Bone density
RISK FACTORS • OBESITY: • Knee in stance 3-6 times of weight • Knee OA and less for hip and hand OA • Women: Stronger (linear) • Symptom • Mechanisms: - Loading - Metabolic
RISK FACTORS • REPEATED USE: • Farmers: Hip • Miners: Knee and Spine • Shipyards: Knee and Finger • Runners: Hip • Elite runner: Hip and Knee
SOURSE OF PAIN • Cartilage Aneural • Innervated structures: • Synovium, Ligaments, Capsule, Muscle, Bone( Sub.) NOT VISUALIZED BY X RAY X RAY CHANGES AND PAIN SEVERITY POORLY CORRELATION
CLINICAL FEATURES • Mechanical pain • Gelling pain • Night pain
CLINICAL FEATURES • KNEE: • Buckling • Locking • Catching
DIAGNOSIS • CLINICAL • No blood test routinely indicated • Synovial fluid
DIAGNOSIS • X Ray: • Hand and hip pain • knee if: - Not typical symptom - Pain persists after effective treatment • Poorly correlation with pain severity • MRI: Not indicated - Meniscal tear in most patients
TREATMENT • NON PHARMACOTHERAPY • Mainstay of therapy • Weight loss: - Each Kg of weight: Load in knee 3-6 fold - Symptom of Knee & Hip OA
TREATMENT • NON PHARMACOTHERAPY • Avoiding overload the joint - Knee & Hip Cane in opposite hand • Exercise: - Age - Disuse - Arthrogenous inhibition
TREATMENT • NON PHARMACOTHERAPY • Degree of weakness correlate strongly with: - Severity of pain - Physical limitation • Correction of malalignment
