  • Degenerative Arthritis

Background

  • This page covers general osteoarthritis
    • Note each joint has a specific page

History

Epidemiology

  • General
    • Most common joint disease in the world
    • Statistics vary somewhat depending on definition of OA being used
    • Murphy et al estimated estimated the lifetime risk of developing symptomatic knee OA to be 40% in men and 47% in women[1]
    • In 2017, affected 303 million people globally[2]
  • Prevalence
    • Affects 10% of men, 18% of women over 60 years of age[3]
    • Framingham study: prevalence was 19.2% among participants over 45[4]
    • Johnston County Osteoarthritis Project: prevalence was 27.8% among participants over 45
    • NHANES III: 37% of patients over 60 had radiographic evidence of knee OA
  • Incidence
    • Hip OA: 88 per 100,000 person-years[5]
    • Knee OA: 240 per 100,000 person-years
    • Hand OA: 100 per 100,000 person-years

Economic Burden

  • In developed countries, estimated to cost between 1 - 2.5% of GDP[6]
  • Arthritis is responsible for more disability in the US workforce than any other factor[7]
  • Approximately 21.6% of US adults (46.4 million) reported physician-diagnosed arthritis in 2005[8]
    • This number is projected to skyrocket by 40% to nearly 67 million by 2030
  • 2004: Arthritis drained approximately $281.5 billion from the US economy, an increase of 53% from 1996[9]

Pathophysiology

Definition

  • Radiographic
    • Presence of a definite osteophyte (Grade ≥2 on kellgren-lawren classification)[10]
    • More severe grades by the presumed successive appearance of joint space narrowing, sclerosis, cysts, and deformity
    • Note, MRI is more sensitive for soft tissue changes but not required for diagnosis
  • Clinical
    • Generally defined as presence of pain, aching or stiffness with radiographic findings consistent with OA
    • Not all patients with joint symptoms have radiographic OA[11]
    • Not all patients with radiographic OA have clinical disease

Cartilage

  • Type II collagen most important structural protein
  • Chondrocytes regulate cartilage architecture, biomechanical composition
  • When activated, chondrcytes release multiple inflammatory cytokines including TNF-alpha, IL-6, IL-1, metalloproteinases, disintegrin
  • In osteoarthritis, the immune system is activated by damage-associated molecules including glycosaminoglycans, hyaluronon[12]
  • Calcium pyrophysphate and sodium urate crystals also bind to chondrocytes
  • It is unclear if chondrocytes are primarily activated from cartilage degredation or secondarily from other joint structures

Subchondral Bone

  • Forms anchor between articular cartilage and trabecular bone
  • Osteoblasts respond to mechanical stimulation similar to chondrycytes[13]
  • Pronounced changes occur in subchondral bone in osteoarthritis[14]
  • Radiographs evidence includes osteophytes, subchondral cysts, subchondral sclerosis
  • MRI can also demonstrate microfractures at different stages of healing[15]
  • One study suggested that subchondral degeneration may precede cartilage degeneration[16]
  • Subchondral bone is highly innervated and contributes to pain generation[17]

Synovium

  • Inflammation of the synovium, termed synovitis, is a commonly seen in osteoarthritis
  • Synoviocytes are noted to proliferate under arthritic stress, producing hyaluronic acid and lubricin[18]
  • In physiologically normal patients, these proteins provide lubrication and reduced stress load
  • In patients with osteoarthritis, they demonstrate reduced lubrication and stress reduction[19]
  • Synoviocytes also release inflammatory markers similar to osteoblasts and chondroblasts

Systemic Inflammation

  • In general, osteoarthritis is considered a localized pathologic state and not a systemic illness
  • 2013 systematic review: C-reactive associated with symptoms but not radiographic findings[20]

Risk Factors

General

  • Age (#1 Risk Factor)[21]
  • Women > Men
    • More likely to have OA[22]
    • OA is more severe in women
  • Estrogen
    • Conflicting results, regardless of whether endogenenous or exogenous[23]
  • Race
    • Less common in Chinese than white[24]
    • African Women (23%) similar to white women (22%); African men (21%) higher than white men (17%)[25]
  • Trauma
  • Genetics
    • Twin studies estimate the heritable component of OA to be between 50% - 65%[26]
  • Injuries
  • Occupation
    • Repetitive labor
    • Occupations that require carrying, kneeling, squatting
  • Sports
    • Studies have produced conflicting results
    • Physical Activity: High life time physical activity associated with knee OA[29] and hip OA[30]
    • Long Distance Runners: Hip OA[31], Knee OA[32]
    • Soccer Players: Knee OA[33]

Medical Conditions

  • Obesity
    • Most notable for hip and knee[34]
    • Weight loss associated with reduction in risk[35]
  • Gout

Diet & Nutrition

  • Vitamin D
    • Overall, mixed results
    • Low vitamin D associated with increased risk of progression of knee OA compared to individuals with higher vitamin D [36]
    • Serum vitamin D levels were not associated with the risk of hip OA[37]
    • 2 cohort studies failed to confirm any protective effect of vitamin D supplementation on the structural worsening of knee OA[38]
  • Vitamin C
    • Low vitamin C dietary intake was associated with an increased risk of progression, but not incidence, of both radiographic and symptomatic knee OA[39]
  • Vitamin E
    • Supplementation with vitamin E failed to ameliorate symptoms in patients who had symptomatic knee OA or to prevent knee OA progression[40]
  • Selenium
    • Animal studies: low selenium associated with irregular bone formation, decreased bone strength, and abnormalities in type I and II collage in cartilage[41]
    • China: Low selenium associated with increased risk of kashin-beck disease, a form of arthritis, and risk was reduced with selenium supplementation[42]
    • Another study found high selenium intake was significantly associated with increased risk of both hip and knee OA[43]
  • Vitamin K
    • Neogi et al: Low vitamin K associated with osteoarthritis of the hand and knee[44]

Hand

  • Dominick et al: inverse association between grip strength and carpometacarpal OA; between pinch strength and metacarpophalangeal OA[45]
  • Framingham study: Increased grip strength associated with increased risk of hand OA[46]

    • Most patients report a painful range of motion; range of motion often decreased
    • Most patients report pain in the affected joint, worse with activity or use of the affected limb
    • In weight bearing joints, ambulation, stairs and activity typically make it worse
    • Patients may endorse swelling, deformity, crepitus
  • Physical Exam
    • In early stages, the exam may be relatively normal
    • In advanced stages, joint deformity is common
    • Tenderness to the affected joint
    • Effusion may be present
    • Painful and often limited arc of motion

Evaluation

Classification

Kellgren and Lawrence (KL) Classification

  • Originally proposed for classifying knee OA, now more broadly applied to all joints
  • Grade 0: no radiographic features of OA present
  • Grade 1: doubtful joint space narrowing, possible osteophytic lipping
  • Grade 2: definite osteophytes, possible joint space narrowing on anteroposterior weight-bearing radiograph
  • Grade 3: multiple osteophytes, definite joint space narrowing, sclerosis, possible bony deformity
  • Grade 4: large osteophytes, marked joint space narrowing, severe sclerosis and definite bony deformity

Management

Lifestyle Modification

Weight Loss

  • In obese patients without osteoarthritis, weight loss reduces the risk of developing osteoarthritis[55]
  • In obese patients with osteoarthritis, weight loss improves symptoms of disease[56]
  • Weight loss was associated with increased type II collagen (cartilage synthesis) and decrease cartilage oligomeric matrix protein, a biomarker of cartilage degredation. These changes also correlated with reduced insulin levels and insulin resistance.[57]
  • Improvement in cardiovascular health and all cause mortality

Exercise

  • When combined with weight loss, superior to exercise or weight loss alone[58]
