Extractions: Osteoarthritis causes pain and stiffness in joints. Symptoms may be helped by exercises, some physical devices and treatments, and losing weight if you are overweight. Paracetamol will often ease symptoms. Other medicines are sometimes advised. The food supplements glucosamine, chondroitin and avocado/soybean help in some cases. Joint replacement surgery is an option for severe cases. What is osteoarthritis? Arthritis means inflammation of the joints. Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis in the UK. OA mainly affects the joint cartilage and the bone tissue next to the cartilage. Understanding joints A joint is where two bones meet. Joints allow movement and flexibility of various parts of the body. The movement of the bones is caused by muscles which pull on tendons that are attached to bone. Cartilage is a hard, smooth tissue that covers the end of bones. Between the cartilage of two bones which form a joint there is a small amount of thick fluid called synovial fluid. This fluid 'lubricates' the joint which allows smooth movement between the bones. The synovial fluid is made by the synovium. This is the tissue that surrounds the joint. The outer part of the synovium is called the capsule. This is tough, gives the joint stability, and stops the bones from moving 'out of joint'. Surrounding ligaments and muscles also help to give support and stability to joints

Osteoarthritis is one of the most common medical conditions, afflicting an estimated 15.8 million people in the United States. In many people, it goes unrecognized. It is estimated that as many as half of all those who have osteoarthritis do not know that the pain and stiffness they are experiencing are symptoms of osteoarthritis.

Extractions: Home Medical Reference Patient Education Osteoarthritis, also known as degenerative joint disease, is the most common form of arthritis. Scientists now believe osteoarthritis results from a combination of genetic abnormalities and joint injuries. In this disorder, an affected joint experiences a progressive loss of cartilage, the slippery material that cushions the ends of bones. Osteoarthritis is a chronic disease of the joint cartilage and bone, often thought to result from "wear and tear" on a joint, although there are other causes such as congenital defects, trauma and metabolic disorders. Joints appear larger, are stiff and painful and usually feel worse the more they are used throughout the day. As a result, the bone beneath the cartilage undergoes changes that lead to bony overgrowth. The tissue that lines the joint can become inflamed, the ligaments can loosen, and the associated muscles can weaken. The sufferer experiences pain when the joint is used. In addition to humans, nearly all vertebrates suffer from osteoarthritis, including porpoises and whales, and long-extinct terrestrial travelers such as dinosaurs.

Supporting Research Signs and Symptoms Signs and symptoms of OA may include the following: Causes OA is also often called degenerative joint disease because this condition involves the destruction of cartilage, which normally protects the joint. Although there are risk factors that may predispose a person to developing OA, it is usually not entirely clear what initiates the damage and loss of cartilage. Once the cartilage becomes somewhat damaged, however, it is more likely for further injury to ensue from repetitive use or another injury. Less commonly, OA is due to a fracture, mechanical abnormalities (such as unequal lower limb lengths), other bone and joint disease (such as gout), or an underlying metabolic or hormonal disorder.

Extractions: Osteoarthritis is a disease of the joints. Also know as degenerative joint disease, it is the most common form of arthritis, affecting more than 20 million American adults. It should not be confused with rheumatoid arthritis, which is not the same as osteoarthritis . Osteoarthritis is caused by a breakdown of cartilage, the substance that provides a cushion between the bones of the joints. Healthy cartilage allows bones to glide over one another and acts as a shock absorber during physical movement. In osteoarthritis , the cartilage breaks down and wears away. This causes the bones under the cartilage to rub together, causing pain, swelling and loss of motion of the joint.

Extractions: @import "../../styles/advanced.css"; Skip navigation Chondroitin sulphate given orally was found to be effective in reducing pain, improving function, and reducing NSAID and analgesic consumption in seven randomised double-blind trials involving 702 patients with osteoarthritis of hip or knee over three months or more. Chondroitin sulphate described complex molecules found in cartilage. Like glucosamine , this has been considered as a possible modifier of symptoms in osteoarthritis, though mechanisms are not understood, nor doses well worked out, nor pharmaceutical standards available. BF Leeb et al. A metaanalysis of chondroitin sulfate in the treatment of osteoarthritis. J Rheumatol 2000 27: 205-211. Searching of several electronic databases was for randomised, double-blind studies of chondroitin sulphate in osteoarthritis of hip or knee. Outcomes of interest were: Lequesne index, patient or physician global evaluation, pain, or walking time, or NSAID or analgesic drug use. Baseline characteristics had to show that patient characteristics were homogeneous. Information on 16 studies was available, but only seven of these, with 702 patients, were included in the meta-analysis. All were comparisons with placebo, in which additional analgesic drugs could be used. Doses were 800-1200 mg a day.
