Osteoarthritis of The Hip Ahmadin Yusuf Rizal Susatyo
Definition a non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease characterised by : 1. progressive loss of articular cartilage 2. new bone formation 3. capsular fibrosis
Introduction Chronic joint disorder Degenerative end result > 80% in > 65yo Progressive erosion, fibrillation and cracking of articular cartilage forms loose bodies Subarticular cyst formation in bone Hardened articular bone Mild inflammation but painfulà morning stiffness Limited ROM Abnormal loading à frictional wear Often asymmetrically distributed
Osteoarthritis Primary à generalized factors Secondary (follows demonstrable abnormality & occurs following certain predisposing factors) à Trauma congenital deformity Infection metabolic disorder Degenerative Joint Disease Hyperthrophic Arthritis Degenerative Disc Disease Generelized Osteoarthritis (Kellgren’s syndrome)
Anatomy of HIP
The Neck shaft angle mostly is 125 degrees à varies (90-35 degrees) The angle of anteversion is approx 12 degrees in adults KINEMATICS à Motion Average range Flexion 115 Extension 30 Abduction 50 Adduction 30 Internal rotation 45 External rotation 45
Vascularization of the Hip Blood supply of the femoral head : Medial circumflex femoral artery (a branch of the profunda femoris artery) à most important supply Lateral circumflex artery (a branch of the profunda femoris artery) à supplies the inferior portion Artery of the ligamentum teres ( a posterior branch of the obtuator artery) à minor blood supply in the adult,
Biomechanics of the Hip The Neck shaft angle mostly is 125 degrees à varies (90-35 degrees) The angle of anteversion is approx 12 degrees in adults KINEMATICS à Motion Average range Flexion 115 Extension 30 Abduction 50 Adduction 30 Internal rotation 45 External rotation 45
Pathophysiology Theory I : The initiating event is fatigue of the collagen meshwork à increase hydration of the articular cartilage and loss of proteoglycans from the matrix into the synovial fluid increased collagenolytic activity à collagen loss may also be due to mechanical causes
Pathophysiology Theory II : The initial lesions are microfractures of the subchondral bone following repetitive loading Healing of these microfractures à subchondral bone à osteophyte formation à fibrillation of the cartilage à reduplication and proliferation of chondrocytes
Pathogenesis Staging Initial stages ↑ water content & failure of internal collagen network ↑ Cell enzymes & DNA à proliferasi, mitosis, ↑ chondrocyt activity Early stages Protease enzymes ↑ 1 st damage to chondrocytes à irreguler surface
Pathogenesis Staging Intermediate stage loss of proteoglycans & defects appear in cartilage → stiff fibrilating (vertical splitting) Tinning of cartilage surface 2 nd damage to chondrocytes → release cell enzymes & matrix breakdown
Pathogenesis Staging Terminal Stage Cartilage deformation → stress on collagen network → changes in a cycle → tissue breakdown Artic cart → distributing & dissipating forces of joint loading Integrity loses → ↑ concent in subchondral bone → focal trabecular deg & cyst formation ↑ vascularity & reactive sclerosis in zone of max loading
Pathogenesis Osteophyte production occurs around the circumference of the joint margin Bits of bone or cartilage may break off and float into the joint space
Pathogenesis The hip → the commonest sites of OA
Molecular Changes Increased water content à weakening of type 2 collagen network, shorter chains and shifts in the concentration of proteoglycans ( chondroitin/keratin ratio is increased ) increase in collagenase and proteoglycan-degrading enzyme (stromelysin & plasmin) concentration
Pathology Cardinal features : 1. Progressive cart destruction 2. Subarticular cyst formation 3. Sclerosis of surrounding bone 4. Osteophytes formation 5. Capsular fibrosis
Etiology Trauma Obesity Overuse Aging (degenerative) Work/Car Accidents Repeated episodes of gout or another form of arthritis
Etiology Abnormal stresses on a weakened joint Genetic Susceptibility gen defect type II colagen Microbial inciting agent Epstein-Barr virus, Borrelia & Mycoplasma Autoimmunity IGM anti IgG – RA Factor. Helper T cell (CD4) against type II collagen & cartilage glycoprotein-39
GRADE of OA AHLBACK : 1. narrowing of the joint surface 2. narrowing of the joint surface + osteofit 3. narrowing of the joint surface + osteofit + kissing of femoral condyle and prox. Tibia 4. very narrowing of the joint surface + osteofit + subchondral cyst + varus/valgus
GRADE of OA Kellgreen & Lawrence : 0. normal 1. osteophyt minimally 2. osteophyt in 2 point, subchondral sclerotic, subchondral cyst minimally, narrowing (-) 3. osteophyt (+), deformity at the edge of the bone, narrowing (+) 4. osteophyt (++), deformity at the edge of the bone (+), joint space was dissapeared, subchondral sclerotic (+) and cyst (+)
Risk Factors Joint dysplasia Perthes’ disease Hurry prophylactic surgery in child Trauma # involving artic surf Malunion long-bone # repetitive stress in athletes Bone density Obesity Family history
Clinical Findings Osteophytes - “Bone Spurs” Loss of Joint Space Increased Density of Bone in Joint Lines Increased Synovial Fluid
Radiology Findings Narrowing of the joint space Sclerosis Osteophyte
Imaging X-rays → 4 cardinal signs Radionuclide scanning 99mTc-HDP à activity in subchondral regions ↑ vasc & new bone formation Arthroscopy → show cartilage damage
Management 3 observation : symptoms characteristically wax & wane, & pain subside spontaneously for long periods some less painful w/ passage of time & no more than pain killer extreme, recognize by x-ray → rapidly progressive type of OA → reconstructive surgery before bone lose
Early Treatment Principles : 1. Maintain movement & muscle strength 2. Protect the joint from ‘overload’ 3. Relieve pain 4. Modified daily activity
Early Treatment Education Weight Reduction wearing shock absorbing shoes avoiding activities like climbing stairs Sport activity Diet Daily Activity à Biomechanics Pain Relief vascular decompression of subchondral bone redistribution of loading forces Physical therapy
Early Treatment Pharmaceuticals Acetaminophen NSAIDs COX-2 inhibitors
Physical Therapy Problems of the Hip
Physical Therapy Interventions Patient education on joint care Increase strength Increase aerobic capacity Warm water swimming
Physical Therapy Interventions Application of heat or cold packs Exercise and stretching Walking aids Support pillows
Intermediate Treatment Surgical : Arthroscopy Diagnostic Treatment Realignment osteotomy If the joint still stable & mobile x-ray show major part of art surface is preserved Lavage à Joint debridement, Localized cart defects
Arthroscopy Position : Straight-Leg position Flexed-Knee Position Port d’entre : 1. ANTERIOR 2. LATERAL 3. MEDIAL 4. POSTERIOR 5. IN BETWEEN
Straight-Leg Position Simple Side Position Varus-Valgus Control
Leg Holder
Late treatment Reconstructive surgery à Progressive joint destruction, w/ ↑ pain, instability & deformity Arthrodesis Arthroplasty → noticed timing Total joint replacement
Arthrodesis Practical solution for younger adults w/ marked destruction of a single joint Advanced reconstructive surgery → less ideal Outcome : Freedom from pain Permanent stability Disadvantages : Restrictive mobility Backache Deformity & discomfort in other nearby joint
Hip Arthrodesis Indications : relief of pain & instability desire to return to near-normal physical activity with manual labor relatively young age were working & satisfied w/ their results Position of hip fusion : neutral abduction external rotation of 0-30 deg flexion 20-25 deg
Hip Arthrodesis Fixation : AO Cobra Plate Trans-articular sliding hip screw Osteotomy supra-acetabular osteotomy subtrochanteric osteotomy Contra-lateral epiphysiodesis To equalize LLD
Knee Arthrodesis Indications : relief of pain & instability failed knee replacement severe articular & ligamentous damage Neuropatic joint dissease Optimal position : slight valgus 10-15 deg of external rotation 0-7 degrees valgus 0-20 deg of flexion (to previous arthroplasty should be fused in full extension) Techniques : Ext Fix, IM Nail or Plate Fix
Arthroplasty Restore motion: joint Restore function: Muscles Ligaments Other soft tissue structures Replace one side (hemiarthroplasty) Metal endoprostheses: the implants of choice Hip: Moore & Thompson Knee: MacIntosh & McKeever Improvement in function & ¯ pain Long-term pain relief ¯
Total Joint Replacement Goals: Relieve pain Provide motion w/ stability Correct deformity Problems: Optimal implant mechanical design Materials w/ better wear resistance & bone compatibility Fixation techniques Improved instrumentation for ease of revision
