Slight joint space narrowing; Stage 4 trapeziometacarpal osteoarthritis, with major subluxation of the joint. Stage 4: Narrow joint space; Concomitant scaphotrapezial arthritis; A simpler classification is no arthritis, some arthritis, and severe arthritis. [23]
The typical changes seen on X-ray include: joint space narrowing, subchondral sclerosis (increased bone formation around the joint), subchondral cyst formation, and osteophytes. [54] Plain films may not correlate with the findings on physical examination or with the degree of pain. [55]
Joint space narrowing, with or without subchondral sclerosis. Joint space narrowing is defined by this system as a joint space less than 3 mm, or less than half of the space in the other compartment, or less than half of the space of the homologous compartment of the other knee. II: Obliteration of the joint space III: Bone defect/loss < 5 mm IV
When joint pain is severe and doesn’t respond to the treatments described above, surgery may be necessary. The types of surgery that may be used include : Partial or total joint replacement ...
Stage III SLAC wrist involves the entire radioscaphoid joint and the capitolunate joint. [3] The PA wrist x-ray will demonstrate sclerosis and joint space narrowing between the lunate and capitate. Over time, the capitate will migrate proximally into the space created by the scapholunate dissociation. [2]
A chondroprotective compound is a specific compound or chemical that delays progressive joint space narrowing characteristic of arthritis and improves the biomechanics of articular joints by protecting chondrocytes. [1] These agents perform various functions, such as: Stimulating chondrocyte synthesis of collagen and proteoglycans
Wrist osteoarthritis is gradual loss of articular cartilage and hypertrophic bone changes (osteophytes). While in many joints this is part of normal aging (senescence), in the wrist osteoarthritis usually occurs over years to decades after scapholunate interosseous ligament rupture or an unhealed fracture of the scaphoid.
