Differences in levels of inflammatory mediators in meniscal and synovial tissue of patients with meniscal lesions

Abstract Background Meniscal injuries are a risk factor for osteoarthritis (OA). While a mechanical pathway between meniscal injury and OA has been described, the biological effects of inflammation on this pathway have yet to be clarified. The aim of our study was to compare levels of specific infla...
