Fig. 3From: Inflammatory cytokine levels in synovial fluid 3, 4 days postoperatively and its correlation with early-phase functional recovery after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: a cohort studyLevels of cytokines in synovial fluid at 3 to 4 days post ACL reconstruction surgery. Cytokine levels in synovial fluid at 3 to 4 days post ACL reconstruction surgery were quantitated by Multiplex ELISA. The Mann-Whitney’s U-test was employed for statistical analysis (Asterisk indicates p-value less than 0.05). Group I; patients with preoperative periods less than 60 days. Group II; patients with preoperative periods of 60 days or longerBack to article page
