Figures & data
Figure 1 (left panel) Serum cytokine levels in patients with the uncoated (n = 98) and coated (n = 92) TKR (e.motion/e.motion-AS). (right panel) Serum cytokine levels in 20 patients prior to primary arthroplasty (“preoperative”) and 20 healthy individuals without implant (“controls”). The cytokines IL8, IL-6, the immunoregulatory IL-10, and the T-cell chemoattractant CXCL10 were assessed. Concentrations are given in pg/mL. b p < 0.01; c p < 0.001; standard deviation is given.
