The effective options to reduce the pain and disability associated growth rate was even higher for knee replacement, nearly with certain musculoskeletal conditions. Joint replacement doubling over the past decade. In the United States, both surgery (hip and knee replacement) is considered the most hip replacement and knee replacement rates nearly effective intervention for severe osteoarthritis, reducing doubled since 2000.

Other risk factors include obesity, physical USD 10 000 in Canada, Germany and Sweden. The estimated inactivity, smoking, excess alcohol and injuries (European price of a hip replacement was even higher, reaching more Commission, 2008b). While joint replacement surgery is than USD 17 000 in the United States, about USD 16 000 in mainly carried out among people aged 60 and over, it can Australia, and between USD 11 000 and 12 000 in Canada, also be performed among people of younger ages. France and Sweden (Koechlin et al., 2010). There is considerable variation across countries in the rate of hip and knee replacement (Figures 4.7.1 and 4.7.2). Germany, Switzerland and Austria have high rates of both hip and knee replacement. The United States and Germany have the highest rate of knee replacement, even though the population structure of the United States is much younger Definition and comparability than that of Germany. A number of reasons can explain Hip replacement is a surgical procedure in which the cross-country variations in the rate of hip and knee hip joint is replaced by a prosthetic implant. It is replacement, including: i) differences in the prevalence of generally conducted to relieve arthritis pain or treat osteoarthritis problems; ii) differences in the capacity to severe physical joint damage following hip fracture. deliver and pay for these expensive procedures; and iii) differences in clinical treatment guidelines and practices. Knee replacement is a surgical procedure to replace the weight-bearing surfaces of the knee joint in order There are currently too few comparable studies on the to relieve the pain and disability of osteoarthritis.

  • Hip and Knee Replacement

For example, in the United performed and effective surgeries worldwide. The main States, the prevalence of knee osteoarthritis has more than indication for hip and knee replacement (joint replacement doubled since the mid-20th century (Wallace et al., 2017[4]). surgery) is osteoarthritis, which leads to reduced function Most OECD countries show increasing trends of varying and quality of life. degrees, but Ireland and Luxembourg show slower growth Osteoarthritis is a degenerative form of arthritis than the average, these are also the only OECD countries to characterised by the wearing down of cartilage that show a decrease in hip replacements rates from 2007. cushions and smooths the movement of joints – most commonly for the hip and knee. It causes pain, swelling and stiffness resulting in a loss of mobility and function. Definition and comparability Osteoarthritis is one of the ten most disabling diseases in developed countries. Worldwide, estimates show that 10% Hip replacement is a surgical procedure in which the of men and 18% of women aged over 60 years have hip joint is replaced by a prosthetic implant. It is symptomatic osteoarthritis, including moderate and severe generally conducted to relieve arthritis pain or treat forms (WHO, 2014[1]). severe physical joint damage following hip fracture. Age is the strongest predictor of the development and Knee replacement is a surgical procedure to replace progression of osteoarthritis. It is more common in women, the weight-bearing surfaces of the knee joint in order increasing after the age of 50 especially in the hand and to relieve the pain and disability of osteoarthritis.

Design: The patients applied 3 g tid eltenac gel 0.1%, 0.3%, 1% or placebo gel over a period of 4 weeks. The patients were supplied with paracetamol tablets as an escape analgesic. Primary efficacy end-point was mean global pain in the week preceding the examinations, evaluated on a visual analog scale (VAS). Secondary criteria were Lequesne’s score ISK, Jezek score, muscle strength and dolorimeter measurements, walking time, clinical examination results of the knee joint and patient’s and investigator’s overall efficacy estimates.

  • Orthokine Therapy Important Information Vers03 EN
    ORTHOKINE®-THERAPY Important information Version 03 / June 2014 / Orthogen Lab Services GmbH page 1 of 19 Introduction Orthokine ® (autologous conditioned serum or ACS) is a special serum from the patients own blood, which features a significantly higher concentration of signaling proteins, especially Interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra) and different growth factors. The initial idea to develop the Orthokine ®-therapy is based on the fact that Interleukin-1 (IL-1; a messenger of the immune system) plays an important role in cartilage degradation, nerve root inflammation and pain. The opponent of IL-1, IL-1Ra, is a natural inhibitor of IL-1. Particular immune cells in the blood of a patient are capable of releasing IL-1Ra in large quantities. During the processing of Orthokine ® those cells are triggered to do so as well as several growth factors, which play an important role in connective tissue repair. Orthokine ®-therapy was developed during the 1990s by Prof. (USA) Peter Wehling in Düsseldorf, Germany for the treatment of orthopaedic diseases of humans and also animals. This therapy is successfully used by many specialists in almost 30 countries around the world. About 100,000 patients and 60,000 horses have been treated with this special biological therapy. There are more than 30 publications on the efficacy, safety and mode of action of Orthokine ®. The effectiveness and safety of the Orthokine ®-therapy has been demonstrated by clinical data from numerous physicians around the world and by results of randomised, controlled, double-blind clinical studies, published in “peer reviewed“ journals. These data have shown that Orthokine ®-therapy has significant advantages related to effectiveness and safety in comparison to a number of other recommended treatments of osteoarthritis.

Featured Application: Lateral disposition of the knee under load in the single-leg squat (SLS) test is widely used for screening functional instabilities of the knee under load, which is asso- ciated with elevated risk of lower limb injuries and early onset of osteoarthritis. We identified that approximation of the Quadriceps angle at the lowest point of squat is error-prone and not suitable for comparing patients or monitoring progress, as it is highly dependent on squat depth and muscle strength. The current study shows that the Kinect Azure–based Dynaknee software Citation: Uhlár, Á.; Ambrus, M.; is able to simultaneously measure squat depth and the dynamic valgus position of the knee.
