KNEE OSTEOARTHRITIS

MOHAMMED SHAAZ RAFIQUE

BRIEF ABOUT JOINTS JOINTS CLASSIFICATION:

1) Fibrous (synarthrosis)cranial bones2) Cartilaginous(amphiarthrosis) spine3) Synovial (diarhtrosis) knee

CARTILAGE TYPES:1) Hyaline cartilage2) Elastic cartilage3) Fibrous cartilage

HYALINE ARTICULAR CARTILAGE Bone ends covered by hyaline articular cartilageI. CELLULAR COMPONENTII. EXTRACELLULAR COMPONENT

I. CELLULAR COMPONENT Chondrocytes: cartilage cells producing matrix Present in: cavitites in matrix ‘cartilage lacunae’ Contains: clear protoplasm + 1-2 nuclei

II. EXTRACELLULAR COMPONENTa) Water (70-80%)b) Collagen(10-20%) compressive strength

c) Proteoglycans(10-20%) attract water(hydration)

HYALINE ARTICULAR CARTILAGE

FEATURES & ROLE: High quality thin layer 2-4mm No nerve fibres nutrition from synovial fluid Covers bone ends slide against each other Decreases friction Load distrution Exhibits stress shielding:• High water content(incompressible)• Structural organisation of collagen &

proteoglycans

HYALINE ARTICULAR CARTILAGE

ELASTIC & FIBROUS CARTILAGEELASTIC CARTILAGE (yellow cartilage)Elastin elastic bundlesTissue is elastic yet tuffEx: pinna of ear

FIBROUS CARTILAGE (white cartilage)in areas of high tensile strength & supportContains type I & II collagenEx: intervertebral discInjury: hylaline cartilage fibrous cartilage

NEWTONIAN VS NON-NEWTONIAN FLUID

NEWTONIAN FLUID NON-NEWTONIAN FLUID

Linearly viscous throughout Not linearly viscous

Obey Newton's law of viscosity

•viscosity independant of shear rate

Don’t obey Newton's law of viscosity

Example:• all gases•Liquids like water, benzene, ethyl alcohol

Example:•Complex mixtures like pastes, gels•Synovial fluid

SYNOVIAL FLUID Non newtonian fluid Exhibits thixotropic properties: viscosity(thinning) ROLE:1) Shock absorptioni. High frequency impact (shock)• Synovial fluid thick• Entangled molecular network:a) Resists deformation b) shock absorption• Energy stored as elasticity

ii. Low frequency movement• Viscosity thins out to normal lubrication• Thus decrease friction• Molecules aligned in direction of movement• Energy dissipated as viscous flow

2) Nutrient & waste transportation• Supplies oxygen & nutrients• Removes carbon dioxide & metabolic wastes

SYNOVIAL FLUID

COMPOSITION:Type A cells remove wear-tear debris Type B cells produce synovial fluid:

• HA(3mg/ml) halocytes in synovial membrane• Lubricin boundary layer lubrication• Disaccharide units:Na D-glucoronate acetyl-D-glucosamine

SYNOVIAL FLUID

B glycosic bonds

It is degenerative joint disease Most common type of osteoarthritisOne of the top 5 disabling conditions that affects

more than 1/3rd persons above 65 years

GRADING OF KNEE OSTEOARTHRITIS

GRADE CLASSIFICATION DESCRIPTION

0 NORMAL No features of OA

1 DOUBTFUL Minute osteophyte

2 MILD Definitive osteophyte

3 MODERATE Moderate joint space reduction

4 SEVERE Joint space highly reduced

CAUSES OF OA Age:• idiopathic OA (>50years)• secondary OA (younger patients) Genetic Obesity Mechanical • joint overuse• misalignment

Decrease in HA

CAUSES OF OA

Increase in low MW HA

Change in viscosity & elasticity

Cartilage degradation & inflammation

GOALS OF TREATMENTRelieve painImprove physical conditioningImprove joint biomechanicsImprove muscle strengthSlow disease progressionPreserve functional independenceImprove quality of life

TREATMENT OPTIONS1) Non Pharmacological treatment2) Pharmacological treatment3) Surgery

NON PHARMACOLOGICAL TREATMENT

i. Exercise• Muscle strengthening • Aerobic • Aquatic/hydrotherapy• Tai Chi programii. Foot orthoses or Knee bracing (realignment)iii. Traditional Chinese Accupunctureiv. Weight lossv. Dietary supplements with glucosamine sulphate

PHARMACOLOGICAL TREATMENTI. Acetaminophen/ParacetamolII. NSAIDS/COX 2 inhibitorsIII. OpioidsIV. Topical analgesicsIV. Oral nutritional supplements:• Chondroitin Sulphate• Glucosamine SulphateV. Intra-articular injections• Corticosteroids• Viscosupplements

NSAIDS/COX-2 INHIBITORSMild to moderate pain & inflammationEx: ibuprofen, ketoprofenLimitations: GI bleeding, renal toxcity, CV risksEsomeprazole 20/40mg prevention of GI effectsCOX-2 inhibitors suggested (etoricoxib)Preference:NSAIDS/COX-2 inhibitors to paracetamol

INTRA-ARTICULAR CORTICOSTEROIDS• Acute knee pain & inflammation• Short lived effects (6weeks)• Repeated use accelerate cartilage degradation• Example: a) Prednisoloneb) Methylprednisolonec) Betamethasone

ROLE OF HYALURONIC ACID (HA)

Surround & protect synovial tissue Protect mechanical damage of collagen cartilage Act as a lubricant Act as a shock absorber

VISCOSUPPLEMENT

VISCOSUPPLEMENT Product which replaces synovial fluid & has

similar rheological properties

Ideal features:• Tissue & blood compatible• Similar rheological properties• Permeable to metabolites & macromolecules• Improved half life for extended protection• Less injections patient compliance

Main objective:• Increase elasticity & viscosity • Decrease pain & increase joint mobility

MOA:• Analgesic : nociceptor activity & sensitivity• “Barrier Effect”• By providing elastoviscous protective barrier

around nociceptive fibres in matrix• Barrier decreases pain receptor activity• Restoration of elastoviscous properties to protect

cells
