Summary
Brief summary
The purpose of the study is to investigate protein and gene expression among damaged knee
tissues. We will perform MRI's on subjects prior to total knee replacement to identify the
location of bone marrow lesions. Connective tissues including tendon, ligament, and meniscus
specimens normally discarded from total joint replacements will be used for live cell
harvest, and protein and gene expression analyses of tissue or cultured cells.
