entire joint, subchondral bone, ligaments, capsule, synovial membrane and periarticular muscles.
Clinical characteristic of osteoarthritis
pain and limited range of motion
Pathological characteristics of OA
progressive loss of articular cartilage and formation of new bone at joint surfaces and in periaurticular tissues
eburnation
new bone formation on joint surface
osteophytes
new bone formation in periarticular tissue
demographic with OA
80% patients greater than 50 yoa, , women> men, obesity
What is the single greatest modifable risk factor associated with the develpment of OA?
obesity- including non weight bearing joints such as the hands
lack of osteoporosis has what consequence on risk of OA
increased risk in the hip and knee
OA in what types of occupations
cotton workers, dock workers, shipyard workers
Previous injury and OA
knee OA correlates with previous ligamentous and meniscal injury
weakness of what set of muscles associates with increased OA of the knee?
quadriceps mm group
Enhanced hand strength and OA
in men, ehnaced hand strength shows increase in risk of development inhand
exercise and OA
low impact will not increase risk, high impact will increase risk.
Proprioception and OA
those who have proprioceptive abnormalities are at increased risk of OA
The influence of genetics is what percentage in relation to OA
39-65%
Mutation commonly seen in OA
COL2A1 gene
OA and what other syndrome have COL2A1 mutation/
Stickler Syndrome
Stickler Syndrome
arthro-ophthalmopathy with premature OA characterized by premature degenerative joint disease, retinal detachment, vitreious degeneration
