It is associated with a breakdown of cartilage in joints and can occur in almost any joint in the body Cartilage : Cartilage Cartilage acts as a shock absorber, that bends, compresses and reduces friction during physical activities. Osteoarthritis causes the cartilage to stiffen and lose elasticity over time. Tendons and ligaments can then stretch and cause pain and if the cartilage wears away then the bone articulations rub against each other causing more severe pain. Types of OA : Types of OA Osteoarthritis most commonly occurs in the weight bearing joints of the hips, knees, and spine. It can also affect the fingers, thumb large toe, shoulder, elbow, and cervical spine (neck). Symptoms : Symptoms Symptoms of OA most often develop gradually and include: Joint aching and soreness, especially with movement. Pain after overuse or after long periods of inactivity. Bony enlargements in the middle and end joints of the fingers (which may or may not be painful). Joint swelling and joint fluid accumulation. Primary Osteoarthritis Causes : Primary Osteoarthritis Causes is mostly related to: Aging. With aging, the water content of the cartilage increases and the protein makeup of cartilage degenerates. Repetitive use of the joints over the years irritates and inflames the cartilage, causing joint pain and swelling. Loss of cartilage cushion causes friction between the bones, leading to pain and limitation of joint mobility Primary OA cont. : Primary OA cont. Heredity- could also be a factor as some osteoarthritis can be found in multiple members of the same family. Secondary osteoarthritis : Secondary osteoarthritis is caused by another disease or condition including: Obesity, repeated trauma or surgery to the joint structures, congenital abnormalities in joints, gout, diabetes and other hormone disorders. Obesity: is the second most common cause of OA behind aging Secondary OA causes : Secondary OA causes Obesity increases the mechanical stress on the cartilage especially on the knee joints. Higher incidences are reported among weightlifters and body builders as well because of the extra weight they have to support. Injury: increases wear and tear and leads to early OA as well as congenital abnormalities and hormone disturbances. OA Pathology : OA Pathology Entails analysis of the location, duration, and character of the joint symptoms and the appearance of the joints. Many times joint spur formations can help the doctor make a diagnosis of osteoarthritis. Bony enlargement of the joints, and the patient’s subjective explanation of the of symptoms can also indicate possible OA. Tests and Diagnosis : Tests and Diagnosis X-rays are used to diagnose osteoarthritis, revealing a loss of cartilage and shrunken joints. Common x-ray findings of osteoarthritis include loss of joint cartilage, narrowing of the joint space between adjacent bones, and bone spur formation. X-ray of severe Osteoarthritis : X-ray of severe Osteoarthritis Tests and Diagnosis cont. : Tests and Diagnosis cont. MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scan can be also be used to diagnose osteoarthritis. Arthrocentesis uses a needle which is used to remove joint fluid for analysis. Joint fluid analysis is useful in excluding gout, infection, and other causes of arthritis. Test and treatment : Test and treatment Arthroscopy – is a surgical technique where a doctor inserts a viewing tube into the joint space. This test and observation can also be used to repair a joint. Treatment : Treatment Conventional Medicine: with pain, stiffness, and immobility, the typical treatment medication to relieve pain and inflammation, rest to let injured tissues heal themselves, and exercise to rebuild mobility and strength. Joint Protection : Joint Protection With an occupational therapist, one can learn easier ways to do their normal activities that reduce joint strain and use adaptive equipment for better mobility. They also use rest, exercise, physical therapy, and controlled application of deep heat to soothe affected joints. Arthritis and Pain meds. : Arthritis and Pain meds. Aspirin and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), and acitomenophen is used for mild cases of inflammation and pain. corticosteroid injections are anti-inflammatory to ease the pain and stiffness of arthritic joints. Surgery : Surgery Surgery is only used for severe cases of pain and immobility Synovectomy is the removal of damaged tissue lining a joint cavity and it reduces joint swelling, pain, and ongoing damage to the joint. Surgical joint replacement-hip and knee joints as well as smaller joints can be replaced with artificial joints made of stainless steel and plastic Pain Management : Pain Management Pain management and Cognitive behavior therapies can be used to lessen the severity of pain. Alternative medicine such as acupuncture and homeopathic drugs like glucosamine help some with osteoarthritis. Prevention : Prevention These prevention techniques are also useful for slowing the progression of osteoarthritis 1) stay a healthy weight or lose weight, every bit helps reduce the amount of pressure on your joints Prevention : Prevention 2) Be active and exercise to strengthen muscles and put less strain on joints. 3) Protect your joints, avoid doing high impact exercises and movements.
