Brief Summary: Abstract

Background

Pro-inflammatory cytokines play a pivotal role in osteoarthritis as well as in bone tunnel widening after ACL reconstructive surgery A new treatment option is to administer autologous conditioned serum ACS containing endogenous anti-inflammatory cytokines including IL-1Ra and growth factors IGF-1 PDGF and TGF-ß1 among others in the liquid blood phase

Objective The purpose of this trial was to establish whether the osteoclastic effect could be affected by intra-articular application of ACS thus resulting in a potential decrease of knee laxity and leading to a better postoperative outcome

Methods In a prospective randomized double-blinded placebo-controlled trial with two parallel groups 62 patients were treated Bone tunnel width was measured by CT scans while clinical efficacy was assessed by patient-administered outcome instruments WOMAC IKDC 2000 up to one year following the ACL reconstruction in patients receiving either ACS Group A or placebo Group B The investigators compared the levels and dynamics of IL-1b concentrations in the synovial liquid and examined the correlation between the levels of IL-1b at three different post-operative points

Level of evidence Therapeutic study Level 1 randomized controlled trial significant differences and narrow confidence intervals
