Characterization of Synovial Cytokine Patterns in Bucket-Handle and Posterior Horn Meniscal Tears

Figure 2

Correlation between cytokines in the synovial fluid of knees with medial meniscal tears. (a, b) Illustrate the significant correlations in the group of BH tears, whereas (c, d) illustrate the significant correlations in the group of PH tears. Correlations among the cytokines were assessed for significance using the nonparametric Spearman rank correlation coefficient test. A was considered to be statistically significant. Calculated regression lines are shown.
