Molecular and structural biomarkers of inflammation at two years after acute anterior cruciate ligament injury do not predict structural knee osteoarthritis at five years
Arthritis & Rheumatology Dec 08, 2018
Roemer FW, et al. - Authors ascertained the role of inflammatory biomarkers at 2 years after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury to predict radiographic knee osteoarthritis (OA) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)–defined knee OA at 5 years postinjury. They also assessed the concordance of inflammatory biomarkers assessed by MRI and synovial fluid (SF) analysis. ROA or MROA at 5 years postinjury was neither predicted by MRI-detected inflammation nor selected SF/serum inflammation biomarkers at 2 years postinjury. They noted weak concordance between MRI and SF inflammatory biomarkers.
