The relation between osteoporosis of the spine and osteoarthritis of the knee

Abstract: We investigated the relation between osteoporosis of the spine and osteoarthritis of the knee using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry of the lumbar spine to measure bone mineral density and radiographs of the knee in 82 randomly selected females (mean age 77.5 years). Radiographs of the knee were divided into a normal and severe group. The bone mineral density of the severe group was significantly more than that of the normal group.

“…Hart et al 6 reported a small, but significant, increase in BMD in middle-aged women with osteoarthritis of the knee. Yokozeki et al, 20 investigating the relationship between osteoporosis of the spine and osteoarthritis of the knee, showed that the BMD was significantly higher in those with severe osteoarthritis than in normal patients, but Malluche et al 19 observed osteoporosis in all of their 12 patients who had had total knee arthroplasty for degenerative arthritis. Burr et al, 17 in a study of the skeletons of Eskimos, identified sex-dependent links between the bone mineral content of the midshaft of the tibia and osteoarthritis of the tibia; in women the level was low whereas in men it was high.…”

“…15,16 There have, however, been relatively few studies in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee. [17][18][19][20] The association between bone mineral density (BMD) and osteoarthritis of the knee is uncertain. Hannan et al 18 found in women that the femoral BMD was higher in those with osteophytes at the knee than in those without and was not necessarily associated with narrowing of the joint space.…”

“…Increased bone mass has even been proposed as an independent risk factor for OA (Radin and Rose, 1986;Boyde et al, 1995;Dalle Carbonare et al, 2000). Recent studies have indicated higher BMD in subjects with OA at a distant site (Yokozeki et al, 1995;El Miedany et al, 2000;Naitou et al, 2000), but suggested less of an association with hand OA (Sambrook and Naganathan, 1997). Antoniades et al (2000) found no clear association between hip OA and BMD either at the contralateral site, in the lumbar spine, or throughout the entire body.…”

“…The possible inverse relationship between OP and OA has long been discussed in the literature (Yokozeki et al, 1995;Burger et al, 1996;Sambrook and Naganathan, 1997;Dequeker, 1999), but it is still not clear whether and to what extent this covariation exists within the individual and at the population level. If the intraindividual covariation exists, it may indicate that various aspects of skeletal tissue degeneration occurred simultaneously in the same individual.…”

“…The association of OAK and osteoporosis was also reported. 3,4 Terauchi et al 5 reported that osteoporosis causes trabecular microfractures, thus increasing the stresses on the cartilage and thereby increasing the severity of OAK. Ding et al 6 showed in a study involving 10 cadavers that even in early OAK, deterioration in the architecture of cancellous bone in the sub-chondral proximal tibia decreases mechanical properties.…”
