Influence of Oxidative Dysbalance on Secondary Osteoarthritis

NCT01228487 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 60

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The important role of mechanical joint stress for the insert and progress of osteoarthritis (OA) is supported by recent studies. The degeneration of joint cartilage is caused either by unphysiological load of a healthy joint or physiological load of a damaged joint. The exact mechanisms leading from increased weight bearing and overuse to cartilage degeneration are mostly unknown.

The hypothesis of the study is that parameters of oxidative stress in the joint synovial space reflect damages possibly leading to OA. These parameters correlate with parameters of oxidative stress in the peripheral blood. Aim of the study is the identification of such non- invasive obtainable biomarkers which represent the degenerative and regenerative changes in joint.
