Summary

To analyze the relationship between composition of synovial fluid and its lubrication properties

Conditions

  • Knee Osteoarthritis
  • HA Injection
  • One Injection Per Week for Five Week
  • Synovial Fluid Composition
  • Synovial Fluid Lubrication

Interventions

OTHER

Synovial fluid composition and lubrication analysis

Before HA injection, synovial fluid must be drawn to increase treatment effectiveness. The drawn synovial fluid was then analyzed in the lab. There was no influence for patients enrolled because the drawn synovial fluid would usually be discarded.
