Equine degenerative arthritis was reported as an entity in 1938 by Kelser and Callender based on a comparison of the pathological changes in humans and horses by the same authors. Equine osteoarthritis (OA; the common name now) was reviewed by Mackay-Smith in 1962, and it received its first clinical attention at AAEP in 1966 with a presentation on pathophysiology of equine degenerative joint di...

The treatment of mild to moderate osteoarthritis can be a challenging problem for orthopaedic surgeons. As new research and treatment strategies have emerged, stem cell therapy has risen in popularity for the management of degenerative joint conditions. In this article, we describe a stepwise technical approach with tips and pearls to performing adipose-derived stem cell transplantation for deg...

BACKGROUND Nutritional supplements are commonly used for a variety of musculoskeletal conditions, including knee and hip degenerative joint disease. Although these supplements are occasionally recommended for patients with degenerative disc disease and spinal degenerative joint disease, the evidence supporting this use is unknown. OBJECTIVE To systematically search and assess the quality of t...

Background: Osteoarthritis is one of the most commonly diagnosed malignant diseases in the world and was previously recognized as a degenerative joint disease characterized by cartilage deformity and the formation of new bones at the edges of the joint. But this disease is not just a degenerative disease but also a biomechanical, biochemical, and cellular phenomenon. Common treatments include s...

  Objective(s): Osteoarthritis (OA) or degenerative joint disease is the commonest form of arthritis and can lead to joint pain, decrease in joint’s range of motion, loss of function, and ultimately disability. Exercise is considered as one of the non-pharmacological treatments of OA. But the effects of exercise on knee joint cartilage remain ambiguous. The aim of the present study was to inves...

Degenerative joint disease of the hip, often called osteo-arthritis, or malum coxae senilis, a clinical condition known for the pain and deformity it causes, is the most disabling form of degenerative joint disease. The cause of the condition is unknown; trauma, an old dislocation of the hip, a slipped epiphysis, Legg-Perthes disease, and senescent degenerative changes have all been suggested (...

PURPOSE To assess the relationship between mandibular asymmetry and disorders of the temporomandibular joint. METHODS We used advanced imaging of the temporomandibular joint to distinguish different causes of mandibular asymmetry. MR imaging and arthrography were applied to the temporomandibular joints of 11 patients presenting with mandibular asymmetry. RESULTS Condyle hyperplasia was iden...

The etiology of degenerative joint disease of the hip remains unsolved. A precursor for some patients, especially younger ones, may be hip impingement. Repetitive microtrauma at maximal flexion can cause chronic pain from the abutment at the femoral head-neck junction caused by an abnormal offset. Chronic impingement from an aspherical head can lead to degenerative labral tears and acetabular c...
