Osteoarthritis - Told Flashcards
ostearthritis
not inflammation
most common arthropathy
osteoarthritis
enzyme degradation
osteoarthritis
multi-factorial etiology
nodal osteoarthritis
genetic
secondary OA
due to disorders damaging joint surface
progressive deterioration and loss of articular cartilage - leading to loss of normal joint structure and function
osteoarthritis
mechanisms of path in OA
1 - damage to normal articular cartilage - physical forces - macro and microtrauma
- chrondrocytes react - release degradative enzymes
- inadequate repair
2 - fundamental defective cartilage fails under normal loading - type II collage gene defect - ochronosis
ochronosis
type II collagen gene defect
-cannot handle normal loading
get osteoarthritis
pigmented and defective cartilage
ochronotic cartilage
sclerosis
subchondral bone thickening
-in osteoarthritis
risk fx for osteoarthritis
age obesity genetics gender menopause - possible hormone issues
common cause of back pain
osteoarthritis
DIP osteoarthritis
heberdens
PIP osteoarthritis
bouchards
1st CMC joint
base of thumb
compartments of knee
medial, lateral, patellar/femoral
pain in osteoarthritis
cartilage - no pain
but get synovitis capsule/ligament stretching trabecular microfractures muscle spasm intraosseous HTN
stiffness at rest
with RA
acute flares of pain
crystal disease
systemic sx of OA
no
