Effects
Pathogenesis of osteoarthritis
Articular cartilage
Cartilage is the 1st structure to be affected.
Erosion occurs, often central & frequently in bearing areas
Fibrillation,
Collagen fibers split
Bone (Eburnation)
Bone surface becomes hard & polished as there is loss of protection from the cartilage
Ligament
Undergoes fibrous denervation
IMPACT OF DISABILITY ON LIFESTYLE
Physical Impact
Difficulty in performing daily activities
Emotional Impact
Bullied or harassed
Social Impact
Stereotyping & stigmas
Complications
General
Worsening stiffness and pain
Abnormal anatomical composition
Sleep issues + Fatigue
Distinct
Hemorrhage + Edema
Chondrolysis
Osteonecrosis + Anemia
Stress fractures
INVESTIGATIONS
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION
Narcotic analgesics relieve pain, by binding to opioid receptors
DIAGNOSTIC TESTS
Blood tests
Joint fluid analysis
X-rays
MRI
Ultrasound
pharmacology of glucosamide
glucosamide, in theory, provides a building block towards the synthesis of glycosaminoglycans, slowing the progression of osteoarthritis and relieving symptoms of joint pain.
Absorption
glucosamide was 88.7% absorption by the gastrointestinal tract
