Unit 5 Case 2: Osteoarthritis Flashcards
definition of osteoarthritis
clinical syndrome of joint pain accompanied by varying degrees of functional limitation and reduced quality of life
2 types of osteoarthritis
primary
secondary
primary osteoarthritis
more generalised
affects various parts of the body
secondary osteoarthritis
occurs after injury
typically injury that causes joint inflammation
histological changes seen in osteoarthritis
chondrocytes proliferate, cluster and form MMP’s
extracellular matrix will lose aggrecan, type 2 collagen degradation and cartilage cracks
cartilage will decrease swelling pressure of proteoglycans, altered collagen synthesis, loss of shock absorption
changes seen in osteoarthritis
different types of arthritis
rheumatoid
psoriatic
gout
rheumatoid arthritis
autoimmune disease
immune system attacks the joints
leads to inflammation
results in severe joint damage if left untreated
psoriatic arthritis
autoimmune inflammatory disease
causes raised, red and white patches of inflamed skin with scales normally on the elbows, knees, scalp and navel
can also swell the fingers and the toes
gout
form of inflammatory arthritis
more centralised
occurs when uric acid crystals build up in joints, results in painful inflammation
most often affects the big toe
healthy synovium
1-2 cells thick
macrophage like synovial cell, synoviocytes type 1
fibroblast like synovial cells type 2
synovial subliming is loose connective tissue with numerous blood and lymphatic vessels, nerves, scattered macrophages and fibroblasts

symptoms of osteoarthritis
pain
morning stiffness
tenderness
losss of flexibility
bone spurs
grating sensation
swelling
clinical presentation of osteoarthritis
hip tenderness
range of passive and active motion
crepitus with movement
pain when pressure is placed on the hip
gait problems
sign of injury to muscles, tendons and ligaments surrounding the hip

what is in the image
1st carpometacarpal joint squaring
describe the gait cycle
- initial contact of heel with floor
- weight transferred to this leg
- weight is aligned and balanced on this leg
- heel lifts off floor as foot rises, toes in contact with floor
- foot continues to rise, toes lift off floor
- foot swings forwards and comes back into contact with floor with a heel strike
examples of some different gaits
antalgic
hemiplegic
diplegia
ataxic
myopathic
neuropathic
parkinsonian
choreiform
antalgic gait
abnormal that develops as a result of pain, stance phase reduced on affected limb
means limp
