RESUMEN

Joint kinematic instability, arising from congenital or acquired musculoskeletal pathoanatomy or from imbalances in anabolism and catabolism induced by pathophysiological factors, leads to deterioration of the composition, structure and function of cartilage and, ultimately, progression to osteoarthritis (OA). Alongside articular cartilage degeneration, synovial fluid lubricity decreases in OA owing to a reduction in the concentration and molecular weight of hyaluronic acid and surface-active mucinous glycoproteins that form a lubricating film over the articulating joint surfaces. Minimizing friction between articulating joint surfaces by lubrication is fundamental for decreasing hyaline cartilage wear and for maintaining the function of synovial joints. Augmentation with highly viscous supplements (that is, viscosupplementation) offers one approach to re-establishing the rheological and tribological properties of synovial fluid in OA. However, this approach has varied clinical outcomes owing to limited intra-articular residence time and ineffective mechanisms of chondroprotection. This Review discusses normal hyaline cartilage function and lubrication and examines the advantages and disadvantages of various strategies for restoring normal joint lubrication. These strategies include contemporary viscosupplements that contain antioxidants, anti-inflammatory drugs or platelet-rich plasma and new synthetic synovial fluid additives and cartilage matrix enhancers. Advanced biomimetic tribosupplements offer promise for mitigating cartilage wear, restoring joint function and, ultimately, improving patient care.

RESUMEN

We report the relationships between linear vs. network polymer architecture and biomechanical outcomes including lubrication and cushioning when the polymers are applied to the surface of articulating knee cartilage. Aqueous formulations of the bioinspired polymer poly(2-methacryloyloxylethyl phosphorylcholine) (pMPC) exhibit tuneable rheological properties, with network pMPC exhibiting increased elasticity and viscosity compared to linear pMPC. Application of a polymer network, compared to a linear one, to articulating tissue surfaces reduces friction, lessens tissue strain, minimizes wear, and protects tissue - thereby improving overall tissue performance. Administration of the network pMPC to the middle carpal joint of skeletally mature horses elicits a safe response similar to saline as monitored over a 70 day period.
