Summary
The investigators believe that amniotic tissue allografts may be an effective modality to
treat osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee. One important mechanism of action may be stimulation
of the synovial cells to increase production of endogenous hyaluronic acid (HA). A second
mechanism may be the increase in the anabolic factors and a decrease in degenerative factors
in the joint. The Investigators propose to quantify the concentration of HA and selected
anabolic and degradative factors in synovial fluid aspirate pre and post implantation. While
the treatment provided is designed to provide pain relief for symptoms, the purpose of this
study is to learn more information about the impact of amniotic tissue allografts on
inflammatory markers and growth factors in the knee joint.
