The potential role of synovial T‐cell infiltration following knee joint injury in symptoms and progression to osteoarthritis

Key Points

• To explore the role of acute T-cell activation in the development of osteoarthritis following joint injury.
• Identified T-cell infiltration in knee joints after injury
• Analyzed the relation to long-term osteoarthritis risk
• Acute T-cell activation correlates with increased symptoms following joint injury
• Increased T-cell presence indicates higher risk for developing osteoarthritis
