Osteoarthritis as a disease of mechanics

Reads0

TLDR
It is contended that the mechanically induced joint injury leads to variable inflammatory responses but that the role of this inflammation in worsening structural damage in an already osteoarthritic joint has not yet been proven.

Synovial pathology detected on ultrasound correlates with the severity of radiographic knee osteoarthritis more than with symptoms.

TL;DR: The degree to which these features reflect “active inflammation” is questionable and they may be better considered as part of the total organ pathology in OA and further studies are warranted to confirm these findings.

MRI findings predict radiographic progression and development of erosions in hand osteoarthritis

TL;DR: BMLs, synovitis and JSN were the strongest predictors for radiographic progression and future studies should explore whether reducing BMLs and inflammation can decrease the risk of structural progression.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diabetes Is Associated With Increased Hand Pain in Erosive Hand Osteoarthritis: Data From a Population-Based Study

TL;DR: To explore factors related to hand pain in persons with radiographic hand osteoarthritis (OA), a large number of subjects were diagnosed with at least some form of OA.
Journal ArticleDOI

Three-dimensional osteogenic and chondrogenic systems to model osteochondral physiology and degenerative joint diseases.

TL;DR: The need to combine bone, cartilage and other tissues to form an interactive microphysiological system (MPS) to fully capture the biological complexity and mechanical functions of the osteochondral junction of the articular joint is addressed.

Knee joint changes after meniscectomy

TL;DR: It seems likely that narrowing of the joint space will predispose to early degenerative changes, but a connection between these appearances and later osteoarthritis is not yet established and is too indefinite to justify clinical deductions.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Role of Knee Alignment in Disease Progression and Functional Decline in Knee Osteoarthritis

TL;DR: This is the first demonstration that in primary knee OA varus alignment increases risk of medial OA progression, that valgus alignment increased risk of lateral OA progress, that burden of malalignment predicts decline in physical function, and that these effects can be detected after as little as 18 months of observation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dynamic load at baseline can predict radiographic disease progression in medial compartment knee osteoarthritis

TL;DR: The results suggest that the baseline adduction moment of the knee, which reflects the dynamic load on the medial compartment, can predict radiographic OA progression at the six year follow up in patients with medial compartment knee OA.
Journal ArticleDOI

Risk factors for onset of osteoarthritis of the knee in older adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

TL;DR: A systematic review of cohort and case-control studies evaluating the association of demographic, comorbid, and other patient-determined factors with onset of knee OA found there are identifiable factors which can be targeted for prevention of disabling knee pain.
Journal ArticleDOI

A comparison of four models of total knee-replacement prostheses

TL;DR: The geometric prosthesis was the best condylar prosthesis for osteoarthritis with moderate to severe deformity, but gave the worst results in knees with rheumatoid arthritis.
