Summary

Automatic Translation

Dunkin-Hartley guinea pigs are an established animal model for osteoarthritis research. Such studies may benefit from intra-articular injections for various reasons, including investigating novel agents or treating disease. We describe a methodology for intra-articular knee injections in Guinea pigs and subsequent micro-computed tomography analysis assessing arthritis-associated knee changes.
