Biomarkers of anterior cruciate ligament injury and recovery

(2019) Biomarkers of anterior cruciate ligament injury and recovery. PhD thesis, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and associated knee injuries severely impact on an individual's opportunity to resume previous physical activity levels and may also increase the risk of developing knee osteoarthritis. Hence, this study utilised mass spectrometry to identify and measure urinary proteins associated with acute ACL injury and repair status post-surgery. The urinary biomarkers were compared with MRI and functional data, and may provide additional tools for clinicians in the evaluation of both the initial injury but importantly, tissue recovery following surgery.

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
