Definition
The name osteoarthritis comes from three
Greek words meaning bone, joint, and
inflammation.
It is a progressive disorder of the joints
caused by gradual loss of articular cartilage
with secondary changes in the bone and
synovium.

Osteoarthritisoldest
Remains of the
dinosaur Diplodocus
show evidence of
osteoarthritis 150
million years ago.
Earliest evidence of
human osteoarthritishas been found in the
remains of Neanderthal

Osteoarthritis
10% adult populationacross the world
About a quarter of all
consultations in generalpractice.
Symptoms of the disease
manifest much late. There is no known cure of
the disease.
Progress can be controlled or delayed

Articular cartilage - unique
No blood supply,
No lymphatic drainage,
No neural elements, Chondrocytes are shielded from
immunological recognition.
6080% of human cartilage is water.

Chondrocytes
Chondrocytes are the
cellular manufacturing
sites of cartilage and
are responsible for theproduction and
maintenance of the
surrounding matrix .

Proteoglycan
It consist of a core protein, Aggrecan, to whichare covalently bound glycosaminoglycan sidechains of chondroitin and keratan sulfate.
These charged side chains account for the
hydration and resistance to compression ofthe cartilage matrix.

Pathogenesis of osteoarthritis of the knee
Chronological age is the single most importantrisk factor.
In younger patients unfavourable
biomechanical environment at the joint is themain cause.
This results in mechanical demand that
exceeds the ability of a joint to repair andmaintain itself, predisposing the articularcartilage to premature degeneration.
Chondrocyte apoptosis - telomere or mechanical overloading

OA is characterized by two phases
A biosynthetic phase, during which theChondrocytes, attempt to repair the damagedextracellular matrix.
A degradative phase, in which the activity ofenzymes produced by the chondrocytesdigests the matrix, matrix synthesis isinhibited, and the consequent erosion of thecartilage is accelerated.

Exercises4 Ds Golden rules:
Do it
Do it regularly
Do it correctly Do not over do it
Exercises for prevention of OA
knee is like brushing teeth.
It should be gentle &continuous for rest of the life.
Free cycling for 510 minutes at
zero resistance. Can be repeated
twice a day
overdoing can
damage the knee
further.
Free cycling for 510 minutes / 5 km are very good form of
exercise. Static cycle is better. It help in cartilage nutrition by
CPM type action. Can be repeated twice a day.
Bicycling for knee arthritis is not a weight reduction tool,
overdoing can damage the knee further.
Skipping: Soft surfacein garden or wooden
platform. Avoid high impact.

Pain Relievers
Patients with symptomatic OA of the knee can
receive one of the following analgesics forpain unless there are contraindications to thistreatment:
Acetaminophen NSAIDs only in acute flare for short term.
Avoid them in cases of hypertension, CRF andCAD.
Oral cortisone have no role.
Tx - Malaria by Crocin
Prolonged use can cause neuropathic joint

Glucosamine & Chondroitin
Chondroitin is the most abundantglycosaminoglycan in cartilage and isresponsible for the resiliency of cartilage.
Oral consumption of the substances mayincrease the rate of formation of new cartilageby providing more of the necessary buildingblocks.
Approved by FDA as food supplements
Not recommended by AAOS for OA

Chondroprotactive drugs
Recommendations for or against Glucosamine
and/or Chondroitin sulfate or hydrochloride
are inconclusive for symptomatic OA of the
knee.
There are proteoglycons synthesised by
chondrocytes in normal cartilage, there
supplementation logically have no effect indisease progression.

Diacerein (interleukin alpha 1 blocker)
The IL-1 mediated enhancement of collagenase
production in chondrocytes is actively inhibited by
Diacerein.
Diacerein has a different spectrum of anti-inflammatory activity to that of the classical NSAIDs
naproxen and ibuprofen. While NSAID drugs inhibit
cyclooxygenase, diacerein does not inhibit
prostaglandin synthesis.
Inflammation is a response to disease and not the cause of disease

Diacerein
Inhibition of IL-1, which distinguishes it from
other drugs indicated for the treatment of
osteoarthritis
Stimulate anabolic processes.
Diacerein and rhein inhibit the production of
IL-1b by chondrocytes in the superficial and
deep zones of human osteoarthritic cartilage
Anti-inflammatory reduce pain in brain not at knee

Role of Vitamin D and calcium
A weak quadriceps due to Vitamin D
deficiency can be a precipitating factor for
early OA.
A weak muscle increases mechanical
overloading on the knee articular surface.
There can be disuse quadriceps weakness due
to pain.
Vitamin D and calcium can be supplemented.

Osteoporosis & Osteoarthritis
Do not coexist together.
BMI 22 & >OA
BMI below 22 (< 19) OS
Both can have a presenting symptom of
difficulty in getting up from sitting position(typical of OA). This is due to Vitamin D
deficiency.

Injections
Visco supplementations.
Hydrocortisone.
Benefit of viscosupplementation in patients
with symptomatic osteoarthritis is minimal or
nonexistent.
Increased risks for serious adverse events and
local adverse events, the administration of
these preparations should be discouraged.

Intra-Articular Injections
Intra-articular corticosteroids for short-term pain
relief for patients with symptomatic OA of the
knee.
AAOS does not recommend the routine use ofintra-articular corticosteroids, for patients with
mild to moderate symptomatic OA of the knee.
It may give symptomatic relief for few months. It can precipitate early damage in young patients
due to over activity on a damaged cartilage.
Rest for 2 -3 weeks after a shot

Corticosteroids
Known anti-inflammatory, but their
mechanism of action is not completely known.
Corticosteroids inhibit the accumulation of
inflammatory cells, such as leukocytes and
neutrophils.
They prevent phagocytosis, lysosomal enzyme
release, and the synthesis of severalinflammatory mediators.
Ideal for elderly who are sedentary and not fit for surgery

Hyaluronic acid
The name derived from the Greek word hyalosmeaning vitreous, and uronic acid.
Normally secreted in the synovium by Type Bsynoviocytes.
Act as a lubricant and shock absorber.
It is made of approximately 12,500 disaccharideunits and have molecular weight of 5 milliondaltons.
In pathological condition, the concentration andmolecular weight of indigenous hyaluronic acid isreduced.

Hyaluronic acid
Hyaluronic acid has both viscous and elasticproperties.
At high shear forces, hyaluronic acid exhibits
increased elastic properties and reducedviscosity.
The opposite is true with low shear forces.
Therefore, hyaluronic acid acts as a shockabsorber during fast movements, and alubricant during slow movement.

Hyaluronic acid
The use of HA as VS began in the late 1960s byBiotrics, Inc. The material was taken from humanumbilical cord.
The chondro-protective effects of HA has not
been clinically proven. The FDA classified VS as medical devices;
AAOS does not recommend it for patients withmild to moderate symptomatic OA of the knee.
Can be used for the patient who are on waitinglist for TKR.

Recommendations for performing arthroscopy
with debridement or lavage in patients with a
primary diagnosis of symptomatic OA of the
knee is not conclusive.
Arthroscopic partial meniscectomy or loose
body removal is advisable, in patients who
have primary signs and symptoms of a tornmeniscus and/or a loose body.

Abrasion and Micro-fracture surgery
Abrasive procedures aimed at triggering
cartilage production.
Abrasion, drilling, and micro fractures rely on
the phenomenon of spontaneous repair of the
cartilage tissue following vascular injury to the
subchondral bone, which allow inflow of
naturally circulating stem cells (progenitors) inthe blood.

Autologous chondrocyte transplantation
Mosaicplasy - Technique
The patients chondrocytes are removed
arthroscopically from a non load-bearing area.
10,000 cells are harvested and grown in vitro
for approximately six weeks until the
population reaches 10-12 million cells.
Then these cells are injected into the cartilage
defect of the patient.

Autologous chondrocyte transplantation
Mosaicplasy - Technique
These cells are held in place by a periostealflap, which is sutured over the area to serve as
a watertight lid.
The implanted chondrocytes then divide andintegrate with surrounding tissue and
potentially generate hyaline-like cartilage.

Technique cont
A second generation technique, called CarticelII uses a "fleece matrix" implanted with
chondrocyte cells that is arthroscopically
inserted into the joint. This procedure isknown as matrix autologous chondrocyte
implantation or (MACI) and is available in
Germany, UK, and Australia

Tissue engineering
Defined as the application of engineering
science and technology to the combined field
of cellular and molecular biology with the goal
of regulating the growth, differentiation, andmetabolic activity of cells that are either
transplanted or recruited to heal or
regenerate a joint surface

Regeneration: Growth of New Cartilage
Because of the limited capacity of cartilage to heal, amore attractive approach is to transplant cells or atissue with chondrogenic potential into the joint (so-called biological resurfacing).
Bentley and Greer were apparently the first to showthat chondrocytes could be transplanted into articularcartilage defects and improve healing compared withthat in controls.
Chondrocytes, stem cells, an undifferentiated tissue
(such as periosteum or perichondrium) containing stemcells or chondrocyte precursors, or any combination ofthese can be used.

2003) was a female domestic sheep,
and the first mammal to be cloned
from an adult somatic cell, using the
process of nuclear transfer.Dolly was born on 5 July 1996 to
three mothers (one provided the
egg, another the DNA and a third
carried the cloned embryo to term).
She was created using the
technique of somatic cell nucleartransfer, where the cell nucleus
from an adult cell is transferred into
an unfertilised oocyte (developing
egg cell) that has had its nucleus
removed. The hybrid cell is then
stimulated to divide by an electricshock, and when it develops into a
blastocyst it is implanted in a
surrogate mother.

Dolly
Normal age of sheep is around 11-12 years.
Dolly lived for six years.
It was speculated that Dolly's genetic age was
six years, the same age as the sheep from
which she was cloned. The basis for this idea
was the finding that Dolly's telomeres were
short, which is typically a result of the ageingprocess.

Some day we will be able to replace a part orthe whole articular cartilage by new cartilages
cells developed in lab by induced
Mesenchymal Stem cells. It will be something like changing a punctured
tire as and when needed.
