RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SYNOVIAL FLUID BIOMARKERS IN ACL RECONSTRUCTED PATIENTS AND PROGRESSION OF OSTEOARTHRITIS
We will perform a cross-sectional study on 25 patients undergoing isolated ACL reconstruction (intact menisci and articular cartilage). We have previously obtained samples of synovial fluid from both knees under a previously accepted IRB (IRB: i15-00929). At 5 years post-operatively we will perform clinical MRI on both knees with measurement of cartilage morphology, and novel imaging of articular cartilage to assess collagen and proteoglycan (PG) content. We will test our primary hypothesis that the time of surgery concentration of a panel of synovial biomarkers recently described in our laboratories will correlate with the extent of cartilage loss occurring post-operatively. Primary ObjectiveTo create a biomarker-model that can predict the development of cartilage loss and post-traumatic osteoarthritis at the relatively short term 5-year follow-up timepoint through analysis of synovial fluid samples collected at the time of surgery. Secondary ObjectiveTo compare synovial fluid biomarker profiles between patients who demonstrate evidence of accelerated articular cartilage loss following ACL reconstruction using advanced MRI based imaging techniques to patients whose articular cartilage remains intact post-operatively.
