Abstract

In this paper, we present the results of experimental studies by using Raman-scattering spectroscopy method of synovial fluid that was obtained from the joint cavity during the surgery. Analyzing the composition of synovial fluid, it was identified that with the progress of degenerative-dystrophic process in synovial fluid of the affected joint, the gross amount of components increases at wave numbers: 1155 cm-1 (hyaluronic acid (C-O, C-C )) and 1250cm-1(Amide III). The entered optical numbers allow us to characterize synovial fluid (SF) in osteoarthrosis (OA). This specific Raman-scattering spectroscopy method may become a new diagnostic screening in order to educe the synovial joint pathology.
