Concentration of synovial fluid biomarkers on the day of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)-reconstruction predict size and depth of cartilage lesions on 5-year follow-up.
Abstract
The current investigation evaluated the relationship between the synovial fluid cytokine microenvironment at the time of isolated anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction and the presence of subsequent chondral wear and radiologic evidence of osteoarthritis (OA) on cartilage-specific MRI sequences at a minimum of 5-year follow-up.
