Brief Summary

Bone quality is an important factor influencing the outcome of total knee replacement (TKR) surgery. Therefore, assessing bone quality preoperatively could help the surgeon in the choice of the most appropriate prosthetic implant. The primary goal of this study is to measure serum and tissue levels of some proteins involved in bone remodelling.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change in biomarkers serum level after surgery

    OPG, RANK, RANK-L, sclerostin, cathepsin K, CTP1 and P1NP levels will be assessed on blood samples. CRP, IL-1, IL-6, TNF-α and ESR will also be measured to identify inflammatory states.

    One day before surgery; 3 months after surgery and 12 months after surgery

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Change in periprosthetic bone density after surgery

    3, 6, 12 months after surgery

  • Biomarkers mRNA expression

    Baseline

Other Outcomes (2)

  • Change in knee function score after surgery

    One day before surgery; 3, 6, 12 months after surgery

  • Change in knee pain scale after surgery

    One day before surgery; 3, 6, 12 months after surgery

Study Arms (1)

Patients undergoing TKR.
