Chondroitin sulfate epitope (WF6) and hyaluronic acid as serum markers of cartilage degeneration in patients following anterior cruciate ligament injury.

Serum chondroitin sulfate epitope (WF6) and hyaluronic acid (HA) levels were determined to be of clinical relevance to an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. This cross-sectional study recruited participants from two distinct groups. Group A was comprised of 74 healthy controls, and group B consisted of 33 ACL injury patients.
