Summary

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common joint disease in the world and induces major physical, psychological, societal and economic burdens. The management of osteoarthritis is complex. Viscosupplementation by local injection in the arthritic knee is a validated therapy used after failure of conventional analgesic treatments and non-pharmacological modalities. The size effect of this treatment is modest between 0.3 and 0.6. We do not currently have any predictive criteria for the effectiveness of this treatment. The procedure tested in this research is the characterization of synovial fluid (SF) by an in vitro Raman microspectroscopy technique. The results obtained will make it possible to compare the effectiveness of visco-supplementation with hyaluronic acid from the Hyalgan© trade according to classic criteria in the literature.

Detailed description

The proposed study consists in analysing the synovial fluid (SF) of patients obtained in conventional care that do not require new medical or nursing procedures. All care that patients will receive is routinely provided by physicians. There is no additional act of surveillance during the research. The follow-up medical visits are exactly the same as those offered to patients as part of their treatment, no additional visits are required. During the orthopedic consultation for HA injection, the initial WOMAC score as well as the PGAP and PASS scores will be measured. SF, usually considered as medical waste, will be collected during an arthrocentesis prior to the intra-articular injection of hyaluronic acid, freezed at -80°C and then sended to the IVTV platform at the Ecole Centrale de Lyon for DDRS Raman spectroscopy (LabRam HR 800, Horiba Jobin Yvon, Villeneuve d'Asq). Studied SYNODIAG biomarkers are dried drops parameters (surface) and Raman ratios according to the FR3059781 patent. At the 6-month follow-up visit, WOMAC, PGAP and PASS scores will be re-measured to determine the patient's responding/non-responding status. Finally, the objective of the study is to verify if there are significant differences between the Raman ratios and dried drops parameters of SF patients responding and non-responding to viscosupplementation.
