Molecular Biomarkers Associated With Degenerative Joint Disease in the Knee

NCT01006278 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 40

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This investigation describes a novel complex of structural degradation proteins that is associated with pain in individuals with meniscal pathology undergoing arthroscopic partial meniscectomy. The presence of the complex in the synovial fluid of the knee is sensitive and specific for the painful state compared with similar aged controls. The absence of the complex in asymptomatic controls makes it a useful biomarker for the disease state.
