ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To compare gait biomechanics 6 months following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction (ACLR) between patients with the highest and lowest concentrations of synovial fluid (SF) interleukin-6 (IL-6) and matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3), as well as compared to uninjured controls.DESIGN:
SF concentrations of IL-6 and MMP-3 were collected 7 ± 4 days post injury in 38 ACL injured patients (55% female, 21±4yrs, 25.3 ± 5.2BMI). ACL injured individuals were stratified into the lowest and highest quartiles based on IL-6 (IL-6Lowest and IL-6Highest) and MMP-3 (MMP-3Lowest and MMP-3Highest) concentrations. Gait biomechanics were collected on the injured limb 6 months post-ACLR and in 38 uninjured controls (50% female, 21±3yrs, 23.8 ± 2.8BMI). Functional analyses of variance were used to compare vertical ground reaction force (vGRF), knee flexion angle (KFA), and internal knee extension moment (KEM) waveforms throughout stance phase of gait to determine the proportions of stance differing between limbs and groups.RESULTS:
Compared to uninjured controls, IL-6High and MMP-3High ACL subgroups demonstrated lesser vGRF (largest differences IL-6, 7.88%BW; MMP-3, 11.05%BW) during early-stance and greater vGRF (largest differences IL-6, 6.21%BW; MMP-3, 5.85%BW) in mid-stance, lesser KFA (largest differences IL-6, 3.11°; MMP-3, 3.72°) and lesser KEM (largest differences IL-6, 0.96%BWâ¢m; MMP-3, 1.07%BWâ¢m) in early-stance, as well as greater KFA in mid-stance (largest differences IL-6, 1.5°; MMP-3, 2.95°).CONCLUSIONS:
High SF concentrations of a proinflammatory cytokine and a degradative enzyme early post-ACL injury are associated with aberrant gait biomechanics in the injured limb at 6 months post-ACLR (i.e., lesser vGRF, KFA and KEM) linked to posttraumatic osteoarthritis development.Palabras clave
