Osteoarthriris

-          Normal articular cartilage

  • Chondrocyte
  • Extracellular matrix

-          Pathophysiology

-          Cause of Osteoarthriris

  • Primary OA
  • Secondary OA
    • Trauma
    • infection
    • repetitive overload

-          Pathology

  • Progressive cartilage destruction
  • Sclerosis of the surrounding bone

  • subchondral cyst

-          MRI

Differential Diagnosis

-          Joint infection

-          Crystal induced arthritis

-          Lesion from remote areas

-          Inflammatory arthropathy

-          Neuropathic arthropathy

Treatment

-          Supportive treatment
