Osteoarthritic synovial fluid and correlations with protein concentration.

CONCLUSIONS: Appropriate CaBER operating parameters for study of osteoarthritic synovial fluid were identified. No statistically significant correlation was found to exist between protein concentration and extensional rheological parameters. Positive correlations were identified between several shear and extensional rheological parameters. The reported values for extensional viscosity and relaxation times for synovial fluid were found to be within one order of magnitude with a recent study of post mortem synovial fluid.
