Join David as he interviews the world's leading experts in osteoarthritis.



Professor David Hunter is a rheumatology clinician researcher whose main research focus has been clinical and translational research in osteoarthritis. He is the Florance and Cope Chair of Rheumatology and Professor of Medicine at University of Sydney and the Royal North Shore Hospital, Sydney, Australia.

Repurposing drugs for osteoarthritis with Dr Matthew Baker

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis. There are currently no effective disease-modifying treatments available to slow or reverse the progression of OA. Drugs such as metformin, which is commonly used to treat type 2 diabetes are generally safe and low cost. Research has been shown that metformin has anti-inflammatory and pro-weight loss effects, suggesting that the use of metformin may be useful in the treatment or prevention of OA. Dr Matthew Baker joins us on this week's episode of Joint Action to discuss this important topic. Dr. Matthew Baker https://profiles.stanford.edu/matthew-baker is the Clinical Chief in the Division of Immunology and Rheumatology at Stanford University. He received his bachelor's degree from Pomona College, his medical degree from Harvard Medical School, and his master's degree in Epidemiology and Clinical Research from Stanford University. He completed his Internal Medicine residency at the Massachusetts General Hospital and his Rheumatology fellowship at Stanford University. Dr. Baker has established a clinical research program that is focused on clinical trials, epidemiological studies, and bench-to-bedside translational research. He has designed and led investigator-initiated and industry sponsored clinical trials with a focus on sarcoidosis, IgG4-related disease, and rheumatoid arthritis. In addition, he is the Co-Director of the Stanford Multidisciplinary Sarcoidosis Program and collaborates with other team members to advance sarcoidosis clinical care and research.

When is a joint replacement appropriate? with Prof Gillian Hawker

Although joint replacement surgery is an effective treatment for end-stage osteoarthritis, they are not appropriate for everyone. Factors such as age, overall health and the severity of osteoarthritis must be considered when making decisions about joint replacement surgery. By selecting appropriate patients for joint replacement surgery, we can ensure that the procedure remains a safe and effective option for improving the quality of life for those living with osteoarthritis. On this week’s podcast, Prof Gillian Hawker joins us to discuss this important topic. Gillian Hawker is Professor of Medicine in the Department of Medicine, Division of Rheumatology, at the University of Toronto.

Does osteoarthritis affect elite athletes? with Dr Debbie Palmer OLY

We have spoken about occupational risk factors for osteoarthritis on previous episodes, but one occupation we have not covered is elite level athletes or Olympians.

Exercising with knee and/or hip osteoarthritis with Prof Melanie Holden

Exercise is a commonly recommended treatment for osteoarthritis. There have been many studies which have shown the benefits of exercise which include improved pain, function, and quality of life. However, more often times than not, exercise is delivered sub-optimally with health care professionals unclear about how to deliver exercise effectively to people with hip or knee OA.

What joints does osteoarthritis commonly affect? with Dr Qiang Liu

Osteoarthritis is a highly prevalent disease affecting many developing and developed countries worldwide. The prevalence of OA depends on which joint is involved – whether it is the knee, hip or hand. Depending on what type of OA you have, it may also play a role in your overall health. On this week’s episode of Joint Action, we are joined by Qiang Liu to discuss the different sites of OA, their prevalence and risk factors.   Dr Qiang Liu is an orthopedic surgeon and associate professor who sees patients with joint diseases and does research on osteoarthritis in Peking University People’s Hospital. Qiang has published studies on the burden of osteoarthritis and exercise therapy for knee/hip osteoarthritis in prestige journals such as the Lancet Rheumatology and Osteoarthritis and Cartilage. Qiang has devoted himself to helping patients with osteoarthritis by applying and promoting strategies overlooked by the healthcare system in China. Together with Prof. Jianhao Lin, Qiang introduced the Good Life with Osteoarthritis from Denmark (GLA:DTM) to China together and has served as the program manager since 2017. They also opened the first private special clinic which focuses on delivering evidence-based non-surgical treatment for osteoarthritis in China.
