Degenerative changes in peripheral joints as indicators of mechanical stress
Although it commonly has been assumed that environmentally mediated stress is centrally important in initiating degenerative joint disease, it does not necessarily follow that we can make predictive statements concerning those specific stresses in the past that have led to the onset of degenerative change. Indeed, numerous examples from clinical studies of apparently clearly demarcated occupational stress have failed to show expected correlations…
Osteoarthrosis
Examination of an Eskimo skeletal series demonstrated at least two etiologically distinct groups of joint deterioration divided along sex lines. Low bone mineral content (BMC) among women and high BMC among men were associated with osteoarthrosis on the tibial plateau. This finding contradicts conventional wisdom based on clinical observation, which suggests that reduced skeletal mass prevents osteoarthrosis
The pattern of involvement of appendicular degenerative joint disease
Patterns of degenerative joint disease are investigated in the shoulder, elbow, hip, and knee joints of the macerated remains of approximately 800 individuals from 20th century American and two prehistoric populations. Age is an important contributory factor in all joints, but its effects are seen most directly in the shoulder and hip. Patterns of right‐left involvement also indicate the elbow is the most susceptible area to local factors. Multip…
Stress and the etiology of osteoarthritis
Although degenerative joint disease is an old and exceedingly common problem, clinical investigators have not reached a consensus regarding the etiology of this disease. Comparative osteological analysis of the knee, hip, shoulder, and elbow joints of 798 individuals from four human skeletal populations (Black and White Americans, Pueblo Indians, and Alaskan Eskimos) indicates that age of onset, frequency, and location of degenerative changes are…
Part one
Degenerative knee disease is investigated in osteological samples from three human skeletal populations. The distribution of incidence shows Eskimos are the most frequently and severely affected group, and multivariate analysis further indicates localized age‐independent patterns of degenerative involvement within the knee. It is suggested that such variation results from functional stress within the knee joint. Various modes of cultural behavior…
