Broken Machines or Active Bodies? Part 2. How People Talk About Osteoarthritis and Why Clinicians Need to Change the
Abstract:
SYNOPSIS: How people talk about osteoarthritis may impact outcomes, including uptake of guideline recommendations related to activity-based lifestyles and interventions. In this editorial, we describe 2 key ways of talking, based on findings from our systematic review of 62 qualitative studies exploring the perceptions of people with knee osteoarthritis (n = 1208), their carers (n = 28), and clinicians (n = 2403). Among raw quotes extracted from the studies, we observed a dominant impairment-based way of talking and a participatory based way of talking. These ways of talking form a novel framework to help clinicians understand what people think and do about osteoarthritis. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2023;53(6):325-330. doi:10.2519/jospt.2023.11880.

Osteoclasts in Bone Remodeling
Bone Disorders
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...

Changes in the Appendicular Skeleton with Age
Initially, the limb buds consist of a core of mesenchyme covered by a layer of ectoderm. The ectoderm at the end of the limb bud thickens to form a narrow crest called the apical ectodermal ridge. This ridge stimulates the underlying...
