We aim to compare soluble mediator profiles in primary knee and posttraumatic wrist osteoarthritis. Based on the general faster progression rate of wrist osteoarthritis, we hypothesize a more inflammatory profile. Methods: We collected synovial fluid from 20 primary osteoarthritic knee and 20 posttraumatic osteoarthritic wrist joints. 17 mediators were measured by multiplex enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay: chemokine ligand 5, interferon-γ, leukemia inhibitory factor, oncostatin-M, osteoprotegerin, tumor necrosis factor-α, vascular endothelial growth factor, interleukin (IL)-1α, IL-1β, IL-1 receptor antagonist, IL-4, IL-6, IL-7, IL-8, IL-10, IL-13 and IL-17. Results:  Ten mediators were higher in posttraumatic osteoarthritic synovial fluid: tumor necrosis factor-α (TNFα), IL-1α, IL-1RA, IL-6, IL-10, IL-17, oncostatin-M, interferon-γ, chemokine ligand 5 and leukemia inhibitory factor(P<0.001). IL-1ß, IL-4, IL-7 were not detected, TNFα was not detected in knee osteoarthritic synovial fluid. IL-8, IL-13, osteoprotegerin and vascular endothelial growth factor levels did not differ between the synovial fluid types.  Conclusions:  In general wrist osteoarthritis seems characterized by a stronger inflammatory response than primary knee osteoarthritis. More pronounced inflammatory mediators might offer a paradigm for the faster progression of posttraumatic osteoarthritis. Increase of specific mediators could form a possible target for future mediator modulating therapy in wrist osteoarthritis. %U https://abjs.mums.ac.ir/article_3355_59ba0d275f17ee873e598639eb9927d0.pdf
