Study Notes
Coordinating Care for Patients With Musculoskeletal Disorders
- Learning Objectives:
- Recognize assessment findings for neuromusculoskeletal illnesses.
- Employ appropriate nursing interventions for simple or stable neuromusculoskeletal illnesses.
- Evaluate the effectiveness of nursing interventions for simple or stable neuromusculoskeletal illnesses.
- Identify individual risk factors for neuromusculoskeletal illnesses and health promotion strategies to decrease incidence.
- Collaboratively manage the care of patients experiencing neuromusculoskeletal alterations.
- Identify appropriate health education for patients, families, and communities experiencing neuromusculoskeletal alterations.
Osteoarthritis
-
Definition:
- A slowly progressive, non-inflammatory disorder of the synovial joints.
- Affects the entire joint due to biological, chemical, and viscoelastic changes.
- Characterized by progressive deterioration of articular cartilage, exceeding cartilage production.
- Also known as degenerative joint disease.
-
Pathophysiology:
- Cartilage loss
- Unprotected bone
- Deterioration of joint function
- Synovial membrane thickens
- Joint surface becomes uneven, restricting movement
- Muscle atrophy
- Bone spurs
- Joint space narrowing
- Subchondral bone cysts
- Thickening of the joint capsule and synovium
-
Epidemiology:
- Most common form of arthritis in the US.
- Affects 27 million people in the US.
- Leading cause of chronic disability in older adults.
- Global prevalence increasing.
- Medical costs are between 1% and 2.5% of GDP in high-income countries.
- Associated with postmenopausal estrogen loss.
-
Risk Factors:
- Age (over 55 most affected)
- Female sex
- Genetics
- Family history
- Other bone/joint disorders
- Obesity
- Occupation
- Metabolic disorders
-
Common Affected Joints:
- Knees
- Hips
- Feet
- Lumbar spine
- Cervical spine
- Proximal interphalangeal joints
- Distal interphalangeal joints of the hands
- Other joints
-
Clinical Manifestations:
- Progressive pain over time, increased by activity, relieved with rest.
- Decreased range of motion.
- Tenderness to touch.
- Swelling
- Crepitus (a crackling sound).
- Radiographic findings may show decreased joint space, possible fractures, and bone spurs and possibly also Heberden's and Bouchard's nodes.
- Painful ROM
- Instability
-
Medical Management (Diagnosis):
- History taking
- Laboratory testing (ESR, CRP) - usually normal in OA.
- Radiographs (X-rays) to check for decreased joint space, possible fractures, and bone spurs.
- CT and MRI (less frequently used).
- Possibly joint aspiration
-
Medical Management (Treatment):
- Nonpharmacological: Weight loss, heat/cold therapy, aerobic exercise, physical/occupational therapy, assistive devices, therapeutic footwear, joint protection (braces/splints), energy conservation.
- Pharmacological: Acetaminophen (hepatotoxic max 4g daily), NSAIDs (nephrotoxic), corticosteroids (or hyaluronan injections), opioids.
- Importance of short-term use of medications.
- Managing lifestyle to reduce risk.
- Possible need for CAM remedies.
-
Surgical Management:
- Arthroscopic irrigation and/or debridement
- Arthroscopic synovectomy
- Surgical fusion
- Total joint replacement (total arthroplasty)
- Other surgical options for specific injuries or conditions
-
Complications:
- Increased risk of serious cardiovascular thrombotic events, myocardial infarction, stroke, renal failure in patients with existing risks.
- Gastrointestinal adverse events, including bleeding, ulceration, and perforation of the stomach.
- Specific complications related to treatment may also occur.
- Potential for joint infections.
