she suffered from Intermittent pain in her left knee
Exacerbated by walking, standing , going up and
down the stairs
Least painful in the morning
No trauma
History of osteoarthritis
1)Swelling 2) Tenderness
3) Absence of fluid
4)Reduced ROM
5)Crepitus
Diagnosed with osteoarthritis
Knee joint replacement
TREATMENT MODALITIES
Non- pharmacological treatment
Education
Life style
Exercise
Avoid Prolonged loading Activities
that cause pain Contact sports High
impact sports eg running
Walking instead of running,
low-impact aerobic fitness exercises.
Weight Management
Glucosamine is an amino sugar and a prominent precursor in the biochemical synthesis of
glycosylated proteins and lipids Joints are cushioned by the fluid and cartilage that surround
them. In some people with osteoarthritis, the cartilage breaks down and becomes thin. This
results in more joint friction, pain, and stiffness.
JOINT KNEE
REPLACEMENT
Knee joint replacement is a surgery to replace a knee
joint with a man-made joint. The artificial joint is called
a prosthesis.
WHEN IS IT RECOMMENDED ?
You are having pain from knee arthritis that keeps
you from sleeping or doing normal activities-----You
cannot walk and take care of yourself-----Your knee
pain has not improved with other treatment---- You
understand what surgery and recovery will be like.
SIDE EFFECT:
Infection Blood clots in the leg
vein or lungs Heart attack
Stroke Nerve damage.
Stem cell injection
THIS PROCEDURE IS NON-INVASIVE, EASIER, NO REJECTION!
Super Concentrated Platelet Rich Plasma Procedures
SIDE EFFECT: CANCER
Osteoarthritis, also called degenerative joint
disease (DJD), is a chronic disease characterized by
progressive degeneration, destruction, and loss of
articular cartilage. It can either be primary or
secondary.
PATHOLOGY
RADIOLOGY
NORMAL
OSTEOARTHRITIS
The hallmarks of knee osteoarthritis :
joint space narrowing: usually asymmetric, typically of
the medial tibiofemoral compartment and/or
patellofemoral compartment ----subchondral sclerosis-----
osteophyte formation: patellofemoral osteo-phytes are
more associated with pain
PAIN
Signs and symptoms that sometimes accompany
knee pain include:
•Swelling and stiffness
•Redness and warmth to the touch
•Weakness or instability
•Popping or crunching noises
•Inability to fully straighten
the knee
CAUSES OF PAIN
1-Injuries:
-ACL injury (ANTERIOR CRUCIATE LIGAMENT)
EXCULDED BY:ACL insufficiency results
in deterioration of the normal
physiologic knee bending culminating
in increased anterior tibial translation
and increased internal tibial rotation.
-Fractures
EXCLUDED BY: SHE WONT BE ABLE TO
MOVE AT ALL! IN THIS CASE SHE WAS ABLE
TO MOVE BUT WITH PAIN.
-Torn meniscus (FIBRO-CARTILAGE)
EXCLUDED BY: IN ADULTS: BY TWISTING
OR SQUATING IT CAN CAUSE TEAR. BUT
IN OLD PEOPLE IT HAPPENS AS
SECONDARY TO OSTEOARTHRITIS
TYPES OF CARILAGE:
Hyaline
has a glassy appearance. numerous
chondrocytes each located within found in
the nasal septum, at the ends of the ribs,
and in the tracheal rings.
Elastic Cartilage
occurs in the epiglottic, external
ear and the auditory tube.
contains a dense network of
delicately branched elastic fibres.
Articular Cartilage
divided into several zones:
Tangential layer
Chondrocytes are rather small
and flattened parallel to the
surface.
Transitional zone
The chondrocytes are slightly larger, are round.
Radial zone
Fairly large chondrocytes form radial columns the stacks of cells are
oriented perpendicular to the articulating surface.
Calcified cartilage layer
It rests on the underlying cortex of the bone. The matrix of the
calcified cartilage layer stains slightly darker (H&E) than the matrix
of the other layers.
lubricated, wear-proof,
slightly compressible
surfaces, which
exhibit very little
friction. is not
surrounded by a
perichondrium and is
partly vascularise
-Knee bursitis
EXCLUDED BY: BURSITIS HAPPENS AS SECONDARY TO ARTHRITIS
2-Mechanical problems:
-Loose body
-Iliotibial band syndrome
-Dislocated kneecap
3-Arthritis:
-Osteoarthritis
-Rheumatoid arthritis
-Gout
