Abstract

We developed a novel controlled abnormal joint movement (CAJM) model that controls instability after traditional anterior cruciate ligament transection (ACL-T). We evaluated whether joint instability damping suppresses synovial inflammation in osteoarthritis patients using our new CAJM rat model. We found that joint instability in rats differed between the ACL-T and CAJM models. Joint instability might contribute to synovitis and inhibit osteoarthritis.
