DEGENERATIVE OSTEOARTHRITIS What is osteoarthritis? Osteoarthritis (.flc) is a common problem for many people after middle age. Osteoarthritis is sometimes referred to as degenerative, or wear and tear arthritis. Osteoarthritis may result from an injury to the knee earlier in life. Fractures involving the joint surfaces, instability from ligament tears, and meniscal injuries can all cause abnormal wear and tear of the knee joint. Not all cases of os teoarthritis are related to prior injury, however. Research has shown that some people are prone to develop osteoarthritis, and this tendency may be genetic. The main problem in osteoarthritis is degeneration (below,top) of the articular cartilage that covers the joint. This results in areas of the joint where bone rubs against bone (below, bottom). Bone spurs may form around the joint as the body's response. Symptoms What does osteoarthritis feel like? Osteoarthritis develops slowly over several years. The symptoms of osteoarthritis are mainly pain, swelling, and stiffening of the knee. The pain of osteoarthritis is usually worse after activity. Early in the course of the disease, you may notice that your knee does fairly well while walking, then after sitting for several minutes the knee becomes stiff and painful. As the condition progresses, pain can interfere with even simple daily activities. In the late stages, the pain can be continuous and even affect sleep patterns.

The breakthrough brings closer the prospect of effective treatments for the crippling disease. The US study, which looked at osteoarthritis in the hand, found eight areas of the human genome indicated an inherited risk for the disease. The discovery could provide information for doctors looking for new ways of diagnosing and treating osteoarthritis. Identifying so-called chromosomal regions on the genome, each which contain 50 to 100 genes, allows scientists to narrow down their hunt for the specific genes responsible for an individual condition. If we do manage to identify the genes that provide a disease risk in OA, it will tell us a great deal about how the disease develops Dr Madeleine Devey, Arthritis Research Campaign

Doctors also believe that low levels of testosterone - the so-called "male menopause" - may point to men at risk. According to researchers, women are only at increased risk if they have osteoarthritis or degenerative joint disease in at least two fingers on both hands. The doctors said further study is needed to find out why osteoarthritis increases the risk of having heart disease. Large study The findings are based on a study carried out by doctors at the University of Kuopio in Finland who looked at more than 7,000 people over a 30-year period. Half of these people had their hands X-rayed at the beginning of the study in the 1970s. Of these, four out of 10 had evidence of osteoarthritis in at least one finger. One in eight had evidence of the disease in at least two of the same fingers on both hands.

Special equipment and aids. What is osteoarthritis? Osteoarthritis is caused by "wear and tear" to the surface of your joints. Joint surfaces are usually smooth, but with osteoarthritis they become roughened and thinner. Joint movements then become painful, and joints can become inflamed. What causes osteoarthritis? We are not sure why some people develop osteoarthritis, and other people don't. Some things will increase your risk of developing arthritis, being overweight a previous injury to a joint, eg. a fracture a heavy occupation overuse due to sport a congenital abnormality in a joint a joint already affected by another form of arthritis Who gets it? Osteoarthritis is very common, and most of us will develop arthritis in one or more of our joints as we grow older. It is very rare under the age of 40. Usually, osteoarthritis involves joints which have suffered a lot of stress in life, such as our knees or hips. The lower back and the neck bones are often affected. The bottom of the thumbs, and the end of the fingers are common sites, particularly in women. What are the symptoms?

Arthritis: Osteoarthritis Osteoarthritis (also known as OA; degenerative joint disease; or osteoarthrosis) is the most common type of arthritis, especially among older people. For reasons that are not yet known, OA of the hand and the knee as well as generalized OA is more frequent in women than in men. In most industrialized countries, OA is the leading cause of limitations in daily living activities and is second to heart disease in causing work disability. Osteoarthritis is a joint disease that mostly affects the cartilage - the slippery tissue that covers the ends of bones in a joint. In Osteoarthritis, the surface layer of cartilage breaks down and wears away. This allows bones under the cartilage to rub together, causing the common Osteoarthritis symptoms of pain, swelling and loss of motion of the joint.

Osteoarthritis WHAT IS OSTEOARTHRITIS? Osteoarthritis, also known as degenerative joint disease, is the most common arthritic disease. Scientists now believe osteoarthritis results from a combination of genetic abnormalities and joint injuries. In this disorder, an affected joint experiences a progressive loss of cartilage, the slippery material that cushions the ends of bones. As a result, the bone beneath the cartilage undergoes changes that lead to bony overgrowth. The tissue that lines the joint can become inflamed, the ligaments can loosen, and the associated muscles can weaken. The sufferer experiences pain when the joint is used. In addition to humans, nearly all vertebrates suffer from osteoarthritis, including porpoises and whales, and long-extinct terrestrial travelers such as dinosaurs. Joints Joints are designed to provide flexibility, support, stability, and protection. These functions, essential for normal and painless movement, are primarily supplied by specific parts of the joint: the synovium and by cartilage , including collagen , its primary component.

Osteoarthritis Osteoarthritis (also known as degenerative arthritis) is the most common of arthritic conditions, afflicting more than 15 million people in the United States. Caused by inflammation, breakdown, and loss of the cartilage "cushion" between the bones of the joints, the disease is present in almost everyone by the age of 70. Primarily associated with the aging process, osteoarthritis often develops when repetitive use of the joints irritates and inflames the cartilage. Over time, a build-up in the water content of the cartilage and a degeneration in its protein makeup, marks early stages of its progression. In advanced stages, total loss of cartilage results in friction, pain and limited joint mobility as uncushioned joints move bone to bone. Degenerative arthritis usually affects the large weight-bearing joints, such as the hips and knees as well as those of the hands, feet, and spine.

Home Resources Treatment Learn More ... Clinical Trials What is Osteoarthritis? Osteoarthritis (AH-stee-oh-ar-THREYE-tis) is the most common type of arthritis, especially among older people. Sometimes it is called degenerative joint disease or osteoarthrosis. Osteoarthritis is a joint disease that mostly affects the cartilage (KAR-til-uj). Cartilage is the slippery tissue that covers the ends of bones in a joint. Healthy cartilage allows bones to glide over one another. It also absorbs energy from the shock of physical movement. In osteoarthritis, the surface layer of cartilage breaks down and wears away. This allows bones under the cartilage to rub together, causing pain, swelling, and loss of motion of the joint. Over time, the joint may lose its normal shape. Also, bone spurssmall growths called osteophytesmay grow on the edges of the joint. Bits of bone or cartilage can break off and float inside the joint space. This causes more pain and damage. People with osteoarthritis usually have joint pain and limited movement. Unlike some other forms of arthritis, osteoarthritis affects only joints and not internal organs. For example, rheumatoid arthritisthe second most common form of arthritisaffects other parts of the body besides the joints. It begins at a younger age than osteoarthritis, causes swelling and redness in joints, and may make people feel sick, tired, and (uncommonly) feverish.

Diagnosis OSTEOARTHRITIS Degenerative or Post-Traumatic Arthritis Definition Osteoarthris is a wear and tear type of knee degeneration. Model and X-ray of a Normal Knee Details Osteoarthritis is a progressive disorder of the knee that typically occurs in older patients. Rarely, it begins earlier. Degeneration of the surface (articular) cartilage of the knee is the primary problem. This cartilage destruction slowly leads to further deformity of the knee and may result in complete loss of joint function. Causes The exact cause of osteoarthritis is not known. There is a genetic component, meaning it can run in families. Obesity or trauma to the knee such as a severe fracture may lead to this form of arthritis. Diagnosis Osteoarthritis initially does not produce many symptoms. As the disorder progresses, however, morning stiffness, pain with activity and mild swelling occur. A dull toothache like pain, especially with weather changes is common in the intermediate stages. In the later stages, progressive disability and moderate pain arise. The diagnosis is made by a history of these symptoms and confirmed by a physical exam and plain x-rays. The physical exam will show decreased motion in the knee and the x-rays will reveal loss of space in the joint and spur formation. X-rays of Normal and Osteoarthritic Knees Treatment Nonoperative: The goals of treatment are to maintain function and decrease symptoms. This can be done with anti-inflammatory medications, carefully planned exercise programs, weight control and occasionally steroid injections. Newer anti-inflammatory medications (COX-II inhibitors) produce less side effects that older ones. A customized program may be needed for each patient.

Your browser does not support script Osteoarthritis Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis in the world. It affects huge numbers of people and is often accepted as an inevitable part of ageing. As industrializing populations become older and live longer, the effects of osteoarthritis (OA) will become more marked. Definition (Osteo - bone, arthritis - joint inflammation) There is no simple definition of OA. One definition was proposed by a workshop held in 1995 and is interpreted by the author as: "Osteoarthritic diseases are the result of both mechanical (physical stresses) and biological events which interfere with the balance of building up and breaking down in the joint cartilage and the underlying bone. OA involves all the tissues of our joints although it may be caused by many factors. OA exhibits multiple changes which result in softening, cracking and ulceration of joint cartilage, hardening of the bone beneath the cartilage and bony outgrowths. These changes may go unnoticed by the person but when they become evident the symptoms consist of joint pain, tenderness, limitation of movement, cracking and crunching, perhaps swelling and inflammation. Unlike arthritic diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis there are no systemic effects - ie effects on the whole person such as feeling unwell or loss of weight."

Cause: Unknown, but often associated with aging. Useful Supplements: Boron Chondroitin Sulfate DHA DMSO ... Vitamin D Useful Herbs: Boswellia Cayenne Horsetail White Willow Further information: Osteoarthritis is a disease which causes cartilage and other joint tissue to deteriorate. At the same time, bone spurs (further growth on bones) begin to appear at the same joints. Cartilage begins to wear down, and slowly deteriorates until the point at which the surrounding bones begin to rub against each other. Pain and swelling often result, as well as decreased ease of mobility. The most effected joints are generally the hands, fingers, hips, knees, and big toe. Osteoarthritis may be triggered by injury or trauma to a joint, rheumatoid arthritis , overuse of a joint, or obesity. The symptoms of osteoarthritis include gradual onset of joint pain, limitation of movements, and the feeling that bones are scraping against each other when a joint is flexed. There is no guaranteed way to avoid osteoarthritis. However, controlled weight and regular exercise may decrease its occurrence.
