First seen May 03, 2026 · Last updated Jun 16, 2026 · Updated 12 times
Summary
This study looks at how the body's inflammatory response after a broken knee or ankle joint may lead to post-traumatic arthritis. Researchers will measure inflammatory markers in blood and joint fluid from 60 adults with a specific type of leg fracture. They will combine this with X-rays and patient reports to see if there is a link between early inflammation and later arthritis.
