The Role of Bone and Its Measurement in Knee Osteoarthritis
In Brief
An observational study evaluating MRI and Primary Total Knee Replacement for Osteoarthritis, Knee. Completed, enrolled 101 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of the study is to investigate protein and gene expression among damaged knee tissues. We will perform MRI's on subjects prior to total knee replacement to identify the location of bone marrow lesions. Connective tissues including tendon, ligament, and meniscus specimens normally discarded from total joint replacements will be used for live cell harvest, and protein and gene expression analyses of tissue or cultured cells.
