    Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease characterized by the progressive deterioration of articular cartilage. It is a noninflammatory disorder that affects adults over 60 years old and is influenced by genetic and environmental factors like obesity, joint injury, and certain metabolic diseases. Symptoms include joint pain, stiffness, crepitus, and limited range of motion. Diagnosis is based on x-rays showing worn cartilage and may include MRI, CT scans, or joint fluid analysis. Treatment focuses on pain management, weight control, exercise, and joint protection to slow disease progression and maintain function.

    Osteoarthritis
    DISORDER/DISEASE PROCESS___________________________________________________________ REVIEW MODULE CHAPTER____________

    Alterations in Pathophysiology Related Health Promotion and


    Health (Diagnosis) to Client Problem Disease Prevention
    Degenerative joint disease (DJD), a It is a noninflammatory - Maintain healthy weight to decrease joint
    degeneration of the hips and knees
    disorder characterized by progressive
    deterioration of the articular cartilage (unless localized), - avoid or limit repetitive strain on joints-well fitting shoes

    nonsystemic disease

    ASSESSMENT SAFETY
    CONSIDERATIONS
    Risk Factors Expected Findings If pt has walker:
    - joint pain and stiffness- pain with join palpitations or ROM
    - adults over 60 - genetic factors - crepitus (grating sound caused by the rubbing of bone fragments) remove rugs, tape
    - joint injury due to acute or repetitive stress - enlarged joint related to bone hypertrophy- Heberden’s nodes
    cords to
    enlarged at distal interphalangeal joints- Bouchard’s nodes located
    on joints predisposes to later OA at the proximal interphalangeal joints (OA is not a symmetrical dx, but
    - obesity (knees- weight bearing joint) these nodes can occur bilaterally) can be inflamed and painful baseboards, etc
    - metabolic dx (DM,SCD) avoid falls and trips
    monitor
    medication input
    Laboratory Tests Diagnostic Procedures
    - X-rays: show worn-down cartilage of joints
    - magnetic resonance imaging with or without contrast
    - usually normal erythrocyte sedimentation rate - CT scans
    - high-sensitivity C-reactive protein can be - nuclear bone scan
    - CT myelogram
    increased related to secondary synovitis - EMG and nerve conduction
    - arthrogram
