Evaluating Joint Morbidity after Chondral Harvest for Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation (ACI): A Study of ACI-Treated Ankles and Hips with a Knee Chondral Harvest (2015)
Journal Article
McCarthy, H. S., Richardson, J. B., Parker, J. C., & Roberts, S. (2015). Evaluating Joint Morbidity after Chondral Harvest for Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation (ACI): A Study of ACI-Treated Ankles and Hips with a Knee Chondral Harvest. Cartilage, 7(1), 7-15. https://doi.org/10.1177/1947603515607963

Objective
To establish if harvesting cartilage to source chondrocytes for autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) results in donor site morbidity.

Design
Twenty-three patients underwent ACI for chondral defects of either the ankle or the hip.... Read More about Evaluating Joint Morbidity after Chondral Harvest for Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation (ACI): A Study of ACI-Treated Ankles and Hips with a Knee Chondral Harvest.

ADAMTS-4 activity in synovial fluid as a biomarker of inflammation and effusion (2015)
Journal Article
Roberts, S., Evans, H., Wright, K., van Niekerk, L., Caterson, B., Richardson, J., Kumar, K., & Kuiper, J. (2015). ADAMTS-4 activity in synovial fluid as a biomarker of inflammation and effusion. Osteoarthritis and Cartilage, 23(9), 1622-1626. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.joca.2015.05.006

Objective
To evaluate the potential of ADAMTS-4 (aggrecanase -1) activity in synovial fluid (SF) as a biomarker of knee injury and joint disease.

Design
We have measured ADAMTS-4 activity in the synovial fluid of 170 orthopaedic patients with di... Read More about ADAMTS-4 activity in synovial fluid as a biomarker of inflammation and effusion.
