Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis and cause of joint pain in adults. It affects more than 500 million people worldwide. Patients develop osteoarthritis when the structure of the protective cartilage that covers the bones begins to deteriorate. Recent research shows that multiple drugs in development are promising to treat osteoarthritis. Yet, most physicians agree that we still do not have enough effective treatments for this condition. What works for one person might not work for someone else. Consequently, osteoarthritis research is very important because understanding what causes osteoarthritis or why it progresses remains controversial. In fact, although articular cartilage is the primary target of the disease, both subchondral bone and synovium are often actively involved. This book describes the details of both surgical and non-surgical treatment options for osteoarthritis.

The leading cause of disability in the United States is osteoarthritis. There is no known cure. Consequently, osteoarthritis is managed with a variety of treatments to reduce disability, improve function, and alleviate symptoms. When conservative treatments fail, surgical intervention is indicated. The most effective surgical option for moderate to severe osteoarthritis in the knee or hip is total joint replacement (TJR). TJR is often considered appropriate in cases where other non-surgical treatments have not brought adequate relief. TJR in the management of end-stage osteoarthritis is widely utilized and is considered the fastest growing elective surgery in the nation, if not the world. Although TJR is highly successful at treating advanced kip or knee osteoarthritis, there is substantial evidence that disparities exist in TJR utilization in non-VA settings, with racial and ethnic disparities being the most documented. This report compares what is known about disparities in TJR in the VA context with disparities in non-VA settings.

Der Knochen ist ein Organ und wurde lange Zeit nicht so gesehen. Ein Gelenk ist ein äußerst komplexes Organ und wird bis heute nicht so gesehen. Dieses Buch, an dem viele Experten mitgewirkt haben, hat das Ziel Mechanik, Materialien und Biologie zu verbinden und das heutige Wissen auf diesen faszinierenden Arbeitsfeldern in ihrer Interaktion darzustellen. Die Idee spongiöse-trabeculäre Strukturen zu schaffen, um eine knöcherne Integration von Implantaten zu erreichen, stammt von Henßge, Hanslik und Grundei und wurde Schritt für Schritt in den letzten 3 Jahrzehnten entwickelt. Auch von meinem akademischen Lehrer Hipp wurde die biologische Potenz dieses Lösungsansatzes erkannt und aktiv mitbegleitet. An der Entwicklung waren viele Kliniker und Grundlagenforscher verschiedenster Richt- gen – Ingenieure, Chemiker, Physiker, Biologen, Mathematiker, Informatiker, Anatomen u.a. – beteiligt. Was hat all diese Leute zusammengeführt? Die Idee! Was hat sie weiterarbeiten lassen an einem wissenschaftlich nicht eindeutig beschriebenen aber lebenden Projekt? Die Überz- gung und das Erleben, dass es geht! Die heute vorliegenden 17-Jahres-Ergebnisse im Bereich der Hüftendoprothetik, welche bei über 93% der eingebrachten Hüftendoprothesenstiele eine knöcherne stabile Integration na- weisen, sind weltweit unerreicht. Die heutzutage zur Verfügung stehenden weiterentwickelten Implantate lassen eine weitere Steigerung dieser exzellenten Ergebnisse erwarten. Wir sind der dauerhaften Integration eines Fremdmaterials in den menschlichen Körper zumindest sehr nahe gekommen, wahrscheinlich haben wir dies bereits jetzt erreicht. Die Diskussion über die Entfernbarkeit eines knöchern integrierten Implantates ist eine Scheindiskussion, die an dem Ziel der dauerhaften Versorgung unserer Patienten vorbeigeht.
