Orthopedic Facts• Orthopedic disorders are the most common cause of
disability in the US today; resulting in 147 million lostdisability in the US today; resulting in 147 million lost days of work
• One in six Americans has an orthopedic impairment• One in six Americans has an orthopedic impairmentOsteoarthritis, Osteoporosis, Back and Neck Pain
$215 billi t t th US ll• $215 billion = cost to the US annually. • Cost of DRG 209 is single greatest Medicare annual
expense (Total Hip and Total Knee Replacement)• Up to 70% of patients presenting to PCP office have a p p p g
chief complaint that is musculoskeletal

Arthritis Facts
• An estimated 45 million es ed 5 oadults in the US have a form of arthritis4
• By 2030, an estimated 67 million Americans will have doctor-diagnosed arthritis6

Knee ArthritisKnee Arthritis• Prevalence growing in
ll l ith th iparallel with the aging , overweight adult US
l tipopulation• 50% over age 65 have
diagnosis of arthritis• 60% of women; making
it the leading chronic condition among women

TKR Surgery
• “cost effective, reliable f h itreatment for the pain
and disability of d d k h i iadvanced knee arthritis”
NIH Consensus Panel 2001
• >600,000 TKR in US each year
• Is the single largest expenditure of the federal Medicare budget
7
Total Knee Replacementp
• Projected growth; more than 600% increaseProjected growth; more than 600% increase by the year 2030F l d b i f th l ti• Fueled by aging of the population
• Desire to remain physically active later in p y ylife
• 35% TJR patients under the age of 65 and• 35% TJR patients under the age of 65 and part of the work force

The Synovial JointThe Synovial Joint• Bones provide the framework for the body that
is both Rigid and Segmental• Joints are the point of articulation between 2• Joints are the point of articulation between 2
or more bones• Joints allow near frictionless movement • And work in concert with the neuromuscular
aspects of MSK system that results in a wide range of purposeful movementwide range of purposeful movement
11
Synovial Joint
• Molded ends of 2 bones shaped to permit i f b h hmotion of one bone upon the other
• Bones connected by sleeve of connectiveBones connected by sleeve of connective tissue; the joint capsuleJ i t l i f th t b• Joint capsule receives further support by ligaments; provide bone to bone stability
• And further support by tendons; attach muscle to bone; that provide dynamicmuscle to bone; that provide dynamic stability
12
Synovial Joint
• Exposed ends of bone covered with h id harticular cartilage that provides smooth
glistening surface• Ease of motion further enhanced by thin
glistening lining; the synovial membraneglistening lining; the synovial membrane and synovial fluid
• Synovial fluid that provides lubrication to the joint and nourishment to the cartilagej g

A i l C ilArticular Cartilage• Unique Connective
Tissue• Ideally suited to
serve as elasticserve as elastic shock absorber
• Wear resistant weight bearingweight bearing material
14
Articular CartilageArticular Cartilage• Contains no blood vessels, no nerves and no
lymphatics• Nourished by synovial fluidNourished by synovial fluid• Is 1-4 mm thick• Contains relatively few cells, chondrocytes,
dispersed in a connective tissue matrixdispersed in a connective tissue matrix• Chondrocytes are metabolically active but
h li i d bili li b ihave limited ability to replicate; obvious implications with regard to injury

New Tools and Imaging Techniques Needed in Patient Centered ResearchEven the best radiographic techniques are not good enough:
fluoroscopically assisted semiflexed PA radiographs
Good Alignment: reproducible but p
insensitive to early OA
Poor Alignment: false joint space

delayed Gadolinium-enhanced MRI of Cartilage (dGEMRIC)
Basic Principle:Unequal distribution of charged cartilage structural molecules
predicts a broad range of detection in normal vs. OA cartilage
Histologic Evaluation (ex vivo): Charged dye (blue) detects healthy cartilage; lack of dye (white) detects
cartilage degradation
dGEMRIC Evaluation (in vivo): Charged contrasts detect healthyCharged contrasts detect healthy cartilage (yellow) and focal (red)
loss of cartilage

IRB d H S bj t T i lIRB-approved Human Subjects Trial:
‘Efficacy of a disease-modifying osteoarthritis drug using dGEMRICi ith t th iti i d i din women with osteoarthritis in a a randomized,
placebo-controlled, double-blind trial’ Goals:
Longitudinal study in a small female OA patient cohort (n=40) to:
•Map unilateral knee OA cartilage lesions (ROIs) at baseline (MRI)
•Randomize 20/40 OA subjects to potential DMOAD (FDA-approved) group
R d i 20/40 OA bj t t l b t l•Randomize 20/40 OA subjects to placebo control group
•Observe changes in GAG concentrations over time (2 & 4 months) in both control and treatment groupsin both control and treatment groups
•Calculate & report effects for larger-scale trial(s)/funding

Joint StabilityJoint Stability• Congruity of opposing bone surfaces• Support provided by fibrous capsule, ligaments
and in some cases menisciand in some cases menisci• Muscular contraction provides dynamic
stabilization of the joint, an important stabilizer
• Synovial fluid contributes some by inhibiting distraction of the bones acting as an adhesivedistraction of the bones, acting as an adhesive
