6 When a joint becomes painful with every step, when people can no longer get up out of a chair, when they can t prepare food for themselves or handle their daily tasks, they need to understand that the opportunity exists to return them to a higher level of functioning. -- Dr. John Parker, Orthopedic Surgeon

7 Allow for movement between bones Each bony surface of the joint is lined with cartilage Cartilage provides smooth friction free movement, nutrition to the joint, & provides shock absorption

8 Ball (femur) & socket (acetabulum) joint Moves in three directions Socket not lined completely with cartilage

9 Hinge joint-largest joint in the body The thigh bone (femur) & the shin bone (tibia) meet to form the knee joint The knee cap (patella) covers and protects the knee joint Cartilage covers the end of the knee bones & cushions the knee for smooth, easy movement

10 OSTEOARTHRITIS Slow developing joint pain Stiffness, bony enlargement One or both sides affected Usual onset is middle age RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS Symptoms come and go Affects all ages Chronic systemic inflammatory disease Rheumatoid arthritis usually affects joints symmetrically (on both sides equally), may initially begin in a couple of joints only, and most frequently attacks the wrists, hands, elbows, shoulders, knees and ankles

11 Non-surgical Care Medication Injections Activity modification Physical therapy Minor Surgery Arthroscopy Surgical Care Cut section view of knee joint Decreased joint space Rough bone Worn cartilage Joint replacement surgery Arthritic hip joint

12 There are over 1.1 million procedures done each year in the United States Knee & Hip joint replacement surgeries are two of the most common surgeries performed in the United States With the rise in the number of baby boomers reaching retirement & increasing demands on athletes, the number of total joint replacement surgeries is expected to increase each year
