Abstract:

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a disorder that can affect any joint. It results in a high clinical burden in many patients. Patients with OA experience a wide range of symptoms and clinical signs such as pain, disability, stiffness, tenderness, crepitus, and decreased mobility and strength in their osteoarthritic joints, where the impact depends on the involved joint. Also general symptoms such as fatigue and psychosocial consequences are experienced by OA patients. The impact of symptoms and signs does not only depend on osteoarthritic abnormalities, but also on patient factors, such as coping strate

Abstract:

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic, disabling disease that warrants care that aligns with the principles of ‘chronic disease management’. Central to the success of chronic disease management is the ‘informed, activated patient’. Patient information strategies, including the use of patient decision aids, are essential to enabling patients with OA to self-manage their disease and engage in informed, shared decision-making. Such strategies are best delivered by a multidisciplinary team of healthcare providers and adapted to the characteristics, preferences, and values of the individual OA patient.

Foodstuffs have long been thought to affect health beyond just their supply of calories. Some have been used as a ‘dietary supplement’ to health and thereby aid patients with osteoarthritis. The evidence demonstrating the effectiveness of using dietary supplements to improve pain or protect the structure of the joint is not complete, but some preliminary conclusions are possible. This chapter is an inclusive review of the current published evidence for selected commonly recommended dietary supplements for the treatment of osteoarthritis.

Imaging plays a key role for diagnosis, prognosis, and follow-up in patients with OA.

Abstract:

Joint replacement is often considered the surgical treatment for patients with osteoarthritis (OA). However, several other surgical treatments, of which some are more frequently performed, have been advocated for patients with OA in order to relieve symptoms, stall progression, and avoid or postpone joint replacement. This chapter briefly describes the most common procedures such as knee and hip arthroscopy and knee and hip osteotomy. It also reviews the evidence for the efficacy of these treatments compared with non-surgical alternatives, which is frequently insufficient due to lack of contro

Abstract:

Diarthrodial joints possess an extensive network of sensory and sympathetic nerve fibres whose physiological functions are varied and complex. Nerves are primarily located in the synovium but also innervate the subchondral bone, the outer third of menisci, and the superficial surface of tendons and ligaments. Large-diameter, myelinated neurons are involved in joint position sense while small-diameter neurons with thin or no myelin typically sense pain. The small-diameter nerves in conjunction with sympathetic fibres control synovial blood flow and maintain joint homeostasis. In patients with o

Abstract:

Characteristic clinical presentations of osteoarthritis (OA) include pain and activity limitations. These presentations are dependent on psychological processes. The literature reviewed in this chapter leads to the following conclusions: (1) symptoms of depression, anxiety, and fatigue are more prevalent among patients with OA than among the general population. Recently, a depressive mood phenotype has been identified in knee OA. (2) Symptoms of depression, anxiety, and fatigue, as well as other psychological variables are established risk factors for future worsening of pain and activity limi

Abstract:

Obesity is widely acknowledged as a risk factor for both the incidence and progression of osteoarthritis. Loss of at least 10% of body weight is recognized as a cornerstone in the management of obese patients with osteoarthritis, and can lead to significant improvement in symptoms, pain relief, physical function, and health-related quality of life. However, questions still remain surrounding optimal management and whether structural disease progression can be arrested. Given the significant health, social, and economic burden of osteoarthritis, especially in obese patients, it is imperative to

There are at least 20 chemically different NSAIDs currently available in Europe and the United States.

Low-grade inflammation may even be causative in the disease. The challenge is that osteoarthritis is a heterogeneous disorder with inflammation not only of the synovial tissue but with its me

Gout is associated both with comorbid conditions whose prevalence rises with age as well as with medications commonly prescribed in older people.

Calcium pyrophosphate deposition (CPPD) occurs in the elderly, and is commonly asymptomatic. However, it can cause acute calcium pyrophosphate (CPP) crystal arthritis, chronic CPP crystal inflammatory arthritis, and is frequently present in joints with osteoarthritis (OA). Acute CPP crystal arthritis presents with rapid onset of acute synovitis, which frequently affects the knees, wrists, shoulders, and elbows. It can mimic sepsis in the elderly, and may require hospital admission. Patients with CPPD plus OA may have more inflammatory signs and symptoms (e.g. joint swelling, stiffness) than th

Despite the impact of osteoarthritis (OA) on patients and the health service, OA remains an elusive condition to define and treat. Traditionally, OA has been diagnosed using radiographs and more recently magnetic resonance imaging; however, the last 20 years of research have changed our thinking about the disease and its treatment. We know today that OA takes up to 10–15 years to develop, has a range of risk factors, and that there is a considerable discordance between symptoms and structural signs, such that new classifications and definitions are moving away from structural criteria to combi
