This study aims to identify the role of synovial fluid levels of a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs 9 (ADAMTS9) and a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs 4 (ADAMTS4) for the prediction of intraarticular steroid injection success in knee osteoarthritis (OA).
