Several biomarkers in synovial fluid have been evaluated for their use in diagnosing synovial sepsis, of these serum amyloid A (SAA) is showing the most potential. Two studies showed synovial fluid SAA to be 80% and 75% sensitive and 73% and 92% specific respectively in diagnosing synovial sepsis....

Background: Synovial sepsis is a commonly occurring, potentially career-ending or even life-threatening orthopaedic emergency. Diagnosis of synovial sepsis is currently primarily based on synovial fluid analysis, which often leaves diagnostic ambiguity due to overlap of clinicopathological...

Diagnosis of tenosynovitis is usually confirmed on the basis of synovial fluid analysis (such as cytological and biochemical examinations). This study was designed to examine biochemical (serum amyloid A (SAA), haptoglobin (Hp) and D-dimer) and cytological (total nucleated cell count (TNCC),...

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether differences existed in the viscoelastic properties of synovial fluid samples from the metacarpophalangeal, intercarpal, and distal interphalangeal joints of orthopedically normal athletic horses. ANIMALS: 45 warmblood horses and 30 Thoroughbreds (age range, 4 to 16...

Background: Lameness is a debilitating condition in equine athletes that leads to more performance limitation and loss of use than any other medical condition. There are a limited number of non-terminal experimental models that can be used to study early inflammatory and synovial fluid biophysical...
