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.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • subjects having primary knee replacement surgery with 1 participating surgeon at NEBH (principal investigator)

Exclusion Criteria

  • subjects having a revision knee replacement instead of a primary knee replacement
  • contraindications for MRI
  • pregnancy
