Osteoarthritis
What is the pathogenesis of Osteoarthritis?
Proteolytic degradation of cartilage matrix -> loss of resilience of Articular cartilage -> surface irregularity of Subchondral Bone
Osteoarthritis
-loss of Proteoglycans
-shrinkage of the cartilage & the chondrocytes tend to cluster

Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis

What type of Arthritis? How do you know?
Eburnation = polished, ivory-like appearance of bone -> due to rubbing of bone on bone

Osteoarthritis

What is seen at the arrow? What type of Arthritis?
Type of arthritis in which the joint pain becomes worse later in the day after use
Osteoarthritis
What are the risk factors for Rheumatoid Arthritis?
1. HLA-DR4

2. EBV infection
Rheumatoid Arthritis:
1. Gender preference

2. Age of onset
1. Females (4:1)

2. 20-50 years of age
Describe the pathogenesis of Rheumatoid Arthritis
1. B cells in the joint produce RF complexes
-RF complexes are IgM auto-Ab's against the Fc receptor of IgG
-RF complexes are also present in the serum of 70-90% of cases
-Type III HS

2. RF complexes activate complement = attracts Neutrophils
-Neutrophils produce acute inflammation of Synovial tissue
-Neutrophil phagocytosis of RF complexes produces Ragocytes

3. Chronically inflammed Synovial tissue proliferates (forms Pannus)
-Pannus releases cytokines that destroy Articular Cartilage
-End result is reactive fibrosis & joint fusion (Ankylosis)
Rheumatoid Arthritis
