Cross-sectional evidence suggests that synovitis is associated with baseline pain in this patient population, but little is known about the relationship between synovitis and postoperative recovery or progression of knee osteoarthritis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Purpose\/Hypothesis:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Intra-articular extended-release triamcinolone may reduce inflammation and thereby improve outcomes and slow disease progression.

The primary outcome is change in Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score Pain subscore at 3-month follow-up. Synovial biopsy, joint fluid aspirate, and urine and blood sample analyses will examine the associations between various objective measures of baseline inflammation and pre- and postoperative outcome measures and clinical responses to triamcinolone intervention. Quantitative 3-T magnetic resonance imaging will evaluate cartilage and meniscal composition and 3-dimensional bone shape to detect early joint degeneration.<\/jats:p>\n
