Hip replacement improves function, saves money, at any age
Seniors with osteoarthritis who undergo total hip replacement are twice as likely as those who do not to show improvements in physical functioning and increased ability to care for themselves, according to researchers at Duke University Medical Center. view more (2008-06-17)
New insight into joint lubrication that keeps osteoarthritis at bay
New evidence to explain how the body's natural joint lubricant prevents the wear and tear that can lead to osteoarthritis has been uncovered by researchers at Duke University's Pratt School of Engineering The findings may lead to new methods for treating arthritis, the researchers said. view more (2006-03-29)
Knee injury causes decrease in lubrication, has implications for arthritis
Researchers have found an association between inflammation from knee injuries and a progressive loss of joint lubrication, which may predispose people to arthritis. They have also found a way to quantify how much lubrication is lost following injury. view more (2005-06-02)
High-resolution imaging with contrast agent shows promise in osteoarthritis research
An innovative combination of existing technologies shows promise for noninvasive, high-resolution imaging of cartilage in research on the progression and treatment of the common degenerative disease osteoarthritis. view more (2006-12-05)
No justification for denying obese patients knee replacements
There is no justification for denying obese patients knee replacement surgery: They benefit almost as much as anyone else from the procedure, concludes a small study published ahead of print in the Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases. view more (2008-07-24)
New engineered drug may offer prolonged arthritis relief
Researchers at Duke University have devised a new way to significantly prolong the effects of an anti-inflammatory drug, potentially making it useful for providing longer-lasting treatment for osteoarthritis, the most common form of arthritis. view more (2006-10-16)

Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are 60% more likely to die and 30-50% more likely to suffer an acute blockage of the major blood vessels compared with individuals with no arthritis, US researchers said today. Speaking at the Press Conference during EULAR 2001, the prestigious annual congress of the European League Against Rheumatism... view more... (2001-06-14)
Researchers uncover new piece to the puzzle of human height
In studies involving more than 35,000 people and a survey across the entire human genome, an international team supported in part by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has found evidence that common genetic variants recently linked to osteoarthritis may also play a minor role in human height. view more (2008-01-14)
New research on structure of bones raises questions for treatment of osteoporosis
Researchers have discovered that the structure of human bones is vastly different than previously believed - findings which will have implications for how some debilitating bone disorders are treated. view more (2007-10-17)
New study proves that pain is not a symptom of arthritis, pain causes arthritis
Pain is more than a symptom of osteoarthritis, it is an inherent and damaging part of the disease itself, according to a study published today in journal Arthritis and Rheumatism. view more (2008-09-30)

Need for hip replacements could double within next 30 years
Researchers estimated the likely numbers of hip replacements needed in the UK according to projected changes in population, numbers in each age band, and data from Sweden, which has a similar universal health care system and equivalent rates of osteoarthritis, but where attempts have been made to prioritise demand. view more (1999-09-02)
Acupuncture - no longer a pain in the neck
A study by a team of researchers at the University of Southampton has revealed that Western style acupuncture can be effective in treating chronic neck pain. Moreover, its beneficial effects may be as much to do with the non-specific but powerful effects of the treatment process as the specific effect of the needles. The results of the study are... view more... (2004-12-13)
Study uses MRI to determine features of osteoarthrosis
Abnormalities in the ligaments found on the outside of the knee (lateral collateral ligament complex or LCLC) are commonly seen on MRI in patients with knee osteoarthrosis (OA). view more (2007-05-07)
Novel cartilage repair therapy
Diseases involving irremediable tissue damage of the musculoskeletal system account today for about 15% of hospital admissions in developed countries. With the ageing of the population, this is believed to gain significantly in importance in the coming years. The majority of the disorders affecting the musculoskeletal system are the joint... view more... (2002-04-11)
Pain and stiffness intensity ebb and flow according to body clock in osteoarthritic patients
Levels of pain intensity and arthritic stiffness closely follow the rhythms of the body clock, reveals research in the Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases. view more (2002-11-12)
Osteoarthritis Initiative Releases First Data
The Osteoarthritis Initiative (OAI), a public-private partnership between the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and private industry that seeks to improve diagnosis and monitoring of osteoarthritis (OA) and foster development of new treatments, has released its first set of data. view more (2006-08-02)
Osteoarthritis risk linked to finger length ratio
People whose index finger is shorter than their ring finger are at higher risk of osteoarthritis, a new University of Nottingham study has found. view more (2008-01-07)
New arthritis drugs less likely to cause side effects
A new group of arthritis drugs recommended by NICE for patients at risk of gastrointestinal complications may be safer than traditional drugs, research in this week's BMJ suggests. Claims that the drugs, known as selective COX2 inhibitors, caused fewer gastrointestinal problems than traditional arthritis drugs led to an increase in their use, but... view more... (2002-09-18)
