Ethics approval and consent to participate
: Human BM from the femoral heads and human IPFP from the knees were harvested from patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty with IRB approval (University of Washington School of Medicine, 07-5025-E/A 01). Uninfected human synovial fluid was obtained using an IRB exempted protocol (University of Pittsburgh, PRO14020504) and collected from patients undergoing routine elective total knee arthroplasty. In both cases, the IRB exempted the study from collecting consent to participate from the patients to use the surgical waste materials.
