Medical Therapy
• Supplements• Over-the-counter medicines• Prescription medicines• Injection therapy
![Page 3: Part III](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062810/56815e1f550346895dcc7b25/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Supplements
• Little scientific evidence for/against products– Not subject to FDA regulations
– Reasonable evidence for glucosamine / chondroitin helping with arthritic symptoms
– No evidence for other compounds

OTC Medicines
• Tylenol• NSAIDs – Ibuprofen (Advil) and
Naprosyn (Aleve)– Equally effective in all major
studies– Quite safe when taken with
supervision• Stomach ulcers• Kidney trouble

Prescription Medicines
• Prescription NSAIDs– Celebrex, Mobic, etc– No better than ibuprofen
or naprosyn in comparable doses
• Benefits for select patients• Primary benefit is
convenience– Cardiovascular risks
unknown

Prescription Medicines - Opiates
• Synthetic derivatives of morphine– Effective– But… tolerance building and habit
forming– Frequent depression and side
effects
– Used very selectively and carefully under specialty supervision

Physical Therapy
• Important aspect of joint care in SS
• Particularly important before and after any surgery

Injection Therapy
• Injection of cortisone or hyaluronic acid derivatives
• Effective in ~2/3rds patients• Effect often fades• Safe for up to 3-4
times/year

Surgical Treatment
• Fusion• Arthroscopy• Realignment /
reshaping• Joint replacement
![Page 10: Part III](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062810/56815e1f550346895dcc7b25/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Fusion
• Traditional treatment for arthritis in the young– “No motion, no pain”
• Not for patients with multiple joint involvement– Spine, ankle, wrist
possible exceptions

Arthroscopy
![Page 12: Part III](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062810/56815e1f550346895dcc7b25/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Arthroscopy
• Low morbidity outpatient procedure• Doesn’t “burn” bridges
– Effective against well defined targets• Focally torn cartilage
– Not effective for generalized joint pain or arthritis

Realignment Procedures - Knee
• Surgically change alignment to “offload” worn area
• Delay need for joint replacement
