“She’s ferocious…..”
“Hope he’s strong; she’s the most argumentative
woman I know…..”
“She will never go with the tide if she can swim
against it…..”
Hilary Davan Wetton 2019
(Tonia’s husband)
Argument
• There is currently no evidence that distinct
endotypes exist
– ‘Metabolic OA’
– ‘Post-traumatic OA’
– ‘Inflammatory OA’
– ‘Site-specific OA’
• There is currently no evidence that stratification
in OA has clinical utility:
– To identify new pathogenic pathways
– To identify new treatments
– To predict response to treatment
– To predict course of disease
tekhnologic
Metabolic
SPIN
“Metabolic OA”
• Metabolic syndrome: at least three of the following:
– Obesity
– Hypertension
– Diabetes mellitus
– High triglycerides
– Low HDL

“METABOLIC
OSTEOARTHRITIS”
Is there evidence for a distinct endotype?
Is there evidence that patient benefit could be gained by this knowledge?
NO!
tekhnologic
Metabolic
SPIN
Evidence that PTOA and age-related OA are
synonymous
• Diseases resemble one another
• Share general mechanism of pathogenesis
• Pathogenic molecules/pathways, identified in mouse,
influence human age-related disease
