Intra-articular Injection of Hyaluronic Acid and Alpha-2-Macroglobulin to Ameliorate Knee Posttraumatic Osteoarthritis: A Rat Model
2022-07-12
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background: </h4> Posttraumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) correlates with a dramatic increase in multiple inflammatory factors after joint injury. There is a broad spectrum proteinase inhibitor known as alpha-2-macroglobulin (A2M) that plays an important role in protecting against inflammatory injury.
