Collection of Surgical Waste Synovium Tissue and Waste Synovial Fluid from Elective Joint Aspirations Rochester, MN

The purpose of this study is to see if the inflammation in early stage arthritis can be cessated by changing synoviocyte-macrophage interactions in a way that macrophages do not get activated.
Detection of Infection in Arthroplasty Rochester, MN
