    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    High tibial osteotomy

    The fundamental goals is to unload diseased

    articular surfaces and to correct angular

    deformity at the tibiofemoral articulation.

    HTO is effective for managing OA with varus,osteochondritis dissecans, osteonecrosis,

    posterolateral instability, and chondral

    resurfacing.

    Our experience

    We did our first THR in 1985.

    We were amongst the first to start TKR on a

    routine basis way back 1993.

    We conducted a national workshop on THR in

    1987.

    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.

    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.
