Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Osteoarthritis is a degenerative disease of the joints, mainly characterized by degeneration of articular cartilage and subchondral bone sclerosis, resulting in joint pain and decreased function in patients. In recent years, bone metabolism modulators have become a research hotspot and applied in clinic.
OBJECTIVE: To review the mechanism and curative efficacy of bone metabolic modulators for osteoarthritis.
METHODS: The first author retrieved PubMed and CNKI databases for relative articles published from January 2000 to June 2017. The keywords were “osteoporotic, bone metabolic modulators, osteoarthritis, joint, PTH, CT” in English and Chinese, respectively. The literature concerning the effects and mechanisms of bone metabolic modulators on osteoarthritis was extensively reviewed and comprehensively analyzed.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Bone metabolic modulators have potential protective effects on osteoarthritic joints, preventing cartilage and subchondral bone destruction, reversing osteoarthritis-like joints change and delaying the destruction of osteoarthritic joints. The bone metabolic modulators combined with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can reduce dosages of related medicines and decrease the side effects caused by single medicine, which may have better therapeutic effects.
