Elevation of Inflammatory Cytokines and Proteins after Intra-Articular Ankle Fracture: A Cross-Sectional Study of 47 Ankle Fracture Patients

Figure 2

Levels of neutrophils and monocytes in synovial fluid from ankle fracture patients (N=8). The neutrophil level increased significantly (P=0.008) after injury and decreased again after 7 days (R value=-0.81), while the monocyte level shows the opposite changes (R value=0.81).
