By 2030, THA growth of 174%, TKA 674%
Surge in those aged 45-65
Younger, more active patients
Medicare/insurance “checkboxes” before arthroplasty—must partner to manage the load

Bone on Bone Subchondral
sclerosis Cysts, osteophytes Options:
• Activity modifications
• Injections• PT• Bracing• Meds
Not arthroscopy, osteotomy candidate!

AVOID DOING TOO LITTLE TOO LATE! “DOC, WHAT CAN I DO?”
Avoid that which causes pain!
Low impact exercises Stationary bike, pool,
CORE strengthening Strengthening
decreases pain, aerobic helps more long-term (if quit, effects go away)

Knee sleeves can give feeling of stability, improved proprioception
Unloader if unicompartmental, <10 degrees of laxity (selective use)
Heel wedges (controversial)

Decrease inflammation in synovial tissues
Decrease edema Lowers number of
macrophages/lymphocytes
Can give every 3 months, up to 2 years (study stopped here)
Side effects• Fat atrophy• Tendon rupture• Decreased skin
pigmentation• Crystal deposits
2005
Safe on cartilage (human studies)

Solubility important (lower stays in joint, not the system, higher better for soft tissues)
Crystal structure (betamethasone dissolves quickest, most rapid effect)
Combine with anesthetic--differential and therapeutic effects
Avoid precipitates
prednisolones triamcinolones betamethasone

Hyaluronic acid produced by type B synoviocytes
Mol weight 5x106 daltons
OA is wet, decreased HA concentration, mol weight
Impairs viscoelasticity, nutrient transport, waste removal

Anti-inflammatory (decreased cAMP, arachidonic acid, prostaglandin)
Increases HA production
Analgesic-substance P blockade
Local reactions rare, seen with avian based preparations

NSAIDS Topical NSAIDS
(mixed reviews, some claim 70-80% response rate)
Glucosamine/ Chondroitin Sulfates• Imbalance of
proteoglycan synthesis/degradation with OA
• Try to tip the scale towards synthesis

Increase GAG growth and metabolism
Increase PG production
Decrease collagenolytic activity of chondrocytes
50-70% improvement across studies
Optimum dose: • Glucosamine 1500
mg/day• Chondroitin 1200
mg/day (less critical)• ASU’s

Controversial Preop experience,
level of participation are key
Change intensity level
Avoid contact sports, jogging (joint forces 5x body weight)
Sports specific rehab, time for bony ongrowth
![Page 18: Sports and the Total Joint Patient](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070406/5681427e550346895daea897/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
After TKA, 60-65% return to sports (most hold back precautionary)
JBJS-Br 2008: 34.8% preop vs. 61.4% postop(THA, TKA, resurf., uni knees)• No diff between
groups when control for age
Golf after TKA (Am J Sports Med, 2009, Mayo)
• 57% on course w/in 6 months
• 83% with significant pain relief
• Fewer walked afer surgery (28% vs. 14%)

WILL I GRUNT LESS ON THE COURT?
AM J SPORTS MED, 2002, JOHNS HOPKINS
Followed high-level players after TJA for 7 years
Both singles and doubles Played average 3x/week All satisfied (? Amount of wear)
![Page 20: Sports and the Total Joint Patient](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070406/5681427e550346895daea897/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
TJA patients rapidly growing, most importantly the 45-65 age group
Decisions made based on patient/surgeon comfort
Alter intensity, frequency level (jogging bad but running bases in softball ok)
Surgical approach, type of implants must be considered
